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

John Cena's Heel Turn Precedes GTA 6 Release, Fueling Meme Speculation

Following his surprising heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, John Cena ignited social media with a GTA 6 image, playfully acknowledging the long-awaited game's meme status. The 12-year wait for GTA 6 has created a popular meme highlighting events occurring before its release. Cena's heel turn—his first in two decades—perfectly fits this meme, transforming the beloved wrestler into a villain before GTA 6's arrival.

Cena's Instagram post featuring a GTA 6 image and its 2025 release date playfully embraces the meme. While this doesn't confirm Cena's involvement in GTA 6, it adds fuel to the fire of online speculation. Given the intense fan scrutiny surrounding GTA 6's release date and marketing, this playful engagement is unsurprising.

Although Cena's villainous comeback beat GTA 6's release, the game's launch is imminent, with Take-Two Interactive confirming a Fall 2025 window. In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer addressed concerns about GTA 6's PC release, following its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S debut, urging patience from PC gamers.
