Certainly a change.

John Cena is known for a fair few things. Being a professional wrestler is one. Having an acting career is another. John Cena is also fairly well known for being clean shaven. No, really, he is. Apparently, that's a thing. Over the course of his career, John Cena has had not one bit of hair on his face. Not one. He's had a lot of sweat, a bit of blood (professional wrestling, remember?), but not a single strand of hair on either of those cheeks. Here are some examples of John Cena being clean shaven, just so we're all on the same page. See? No beard. Not a hair in sight. Sound. Anyway, now that we've got that cleared up, let's get down to the matter at hand. Because John Cena has a beard now and no one can deal. Well, a few people can deal but none of those people are worth considering right now so let's just focus on all of the people who are fairly shook by this change. https://twitter.com/Adhmosama2/status/995262566384496640 There he is there now... with his beard. And he's looking incredibly well, in fairness to him. Some people, however, are quite saddened by John Cena's beard transformation and not because he doesn't look great, but because they assume that he's stopped shaving due to his split with Nikki Bella. Nikki took to Instagram about a month ago to share a statement, calling the decision a "difficult" one. It said:

“After much contemplation and six years of being together, Nikki Bella and John Cena announced today their decision to separate as a couple. “While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.”

This came after the WWE stars got engaged last year after John got down on one knee at Wrestlemania 33. At the same time though, it remains to be seen as to whether John Cena's new beard has anything at all to do with his relationship ending. He could have just decided to try out a new look. He could have forgot to shave one day and experienced an intense amount of growth. We just don't know, lads. We just don't know.
