We Got a John Cena Heel Turn Before GTA 6 — and He’s in on the Meme

John Cena recently surprised fans with a heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, marking his first time as a 'bad guy' in over two decades. This unexpected shift in his wrestling persona sparked a wave of attention, especially when Cena cleverly engaged with a popular meme surrounding the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6).

The meme, born from the 12-year wait for Rockstar Games to release GTA 6, humorously highlights the surprising events that have occurred before the game's launch. In this instance, Cena's heel turn became a perfect example of something fans received before GTA 6's release date. The WWE superstar, known for his heroic roles and record-breaking charity work with Make-A-Wish, playfully acknowledged this by posting a GTA 6 image on Instagram, alongside its anticipated 2025 release window. This move showcased Cena's awareness and participation in the meme culture surrounding the game.

Cena's Instagram post, shared with his 21 million followers, was a fun nod to the meme rather than a hint at his involvement in GTA 6. However, some fans speculated that his post might be a cryptic tease about the game itself, reflecting the intense anticipation and speculation that surrounds GTA 6.

While Cena's new 'bad guy' era in WWE has begun before the release of GTA 6, the game itself is set to launch in the fall of 2025, as confirmed by its parent company, Take-Two. This timeline has been eagerly awaited by fans, who have been dissecting every piece of information for clues about the game's release and content.

In related news, a former Rockstar developer in December 2023 attempted to shed light on why GTA 6 will first be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before coming to PC. The developer urged PC gamers to be patient and give the studio the benefit of the doubt regarding its launch strategy.

As the excitement builds, fans continue to speculate about various aspects of GTA 6, including the future of GTA Online once the new game hits the market. For more insights, check out Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick's response to concerns about GTA Online's fate post-GTA 6 launch.
