John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6, Embraces Meme

by Zoey Apr 09,2025

John Cena's unexpected shift to a heel persona at WWE Elimination Chamber took the wrestling world by storm, and he's not missing a beat in engaging with fans through social media. In a clever nod to the ongoing meme surrounding the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto 6, Cena posted an image of the game on Instagram, playfully acknowledging the 12-year wait that has become a cultural touchstone.

For those unfamiliar with the meme, it humorously points out the various milestones and events that have occurred while fans eagerly anticipate GTA 6's arrival. In this instance, it's the fact that John Cena, known for his heroic persona and record-breaking Make-A-Wish visits, turned heel after 20 years—something many thought would never happen—before GTA 6 hits the shelves.

Cena's Instagram post, shared with his 21 million followers, featured a GTA 6 image alongside its anticipated 2025 release window. While this has sparked speculation about his potential involvement in the game, it's more likely just Cena having a bit of fun with the meme rather than hinting at any actual role.

The enthusiasm around Cena's post reflects the intense anticipation for GTA 6. Some fans are even interpreting his post as a cryptic tease about the game itself, a testament to the fervor surrounding any GTA 6 news or hint.

As we look forward to GTA 6's confirmed release window in fall 2025, it's clear that John Cena's heel turn has added yet another surprising event to the list of things that happened before the game's launch.

In related news, a former Rockstar developer attempted to shed light on why GTA 6 will first launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before coming to PC, urging PC gamers to trust the studio's strategy.

For more updates on GTA 6, including insights from Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick on the future of GTA Online post-GTA 6, stay tuned.
