John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6, Embraces Meme

John Cena recently made waves in the wrestling world with his unexpected heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, marking his first time playing the 'bad guy' role in over 20 years. This surprising shift in his WWE persona caught the attention of fans and media alike, and Cena himself acknowledged the moment by engaging with a popular meme on social media.

The meme in question revolves around the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), which fans have been eagerly anticipating for 12 years. The meme humorously highlights various events or releases that have occurred before GTA 6's launch. In this case, John Cena's heel turn became another surprising event that happened before the much-anticipated game.

Cena, who is no stranger to engaging with fans and pop culture, posted an image of GTA 6 alongside its 2025 release window on Instagram, showcasing his awareness of the meme to his 21 million followers. This playful nod was not a hint at his involvement in the game but rather a fun way to lean into the meme culture surrounding GTA 6's long development cycle.

While some fans speculated that Cena's post might be a cryptic hint about GTA 6 itself, it's clear that he was simply enjoying the social media moment. However, the anticipation for GTA 6 continues to build, especially after Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, confirmed a fall 2025 launch window.

In other GTA 6 news, a former Rockstar developer attempted to explain the decision to release the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before bringing it to PC. The developer urged PC gamers to give the studio the benefit of the doubt regarding these controversial launch plans.

As we approach the release of GTA 6, there's much to discuss, including Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick's comments on the future of GTA Online once GTA 6 hits the market.
