John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6, Embraces Meme

John Cena's surprising heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber has not only shocked the wrestling world but also played into a popular internet meme about the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). After 12 years of anticipation, the wait for Rockstar's next big hit has become a cultural phenomenon, spawning memes about the things people have seen come to fruition before the game's release.

In an unexpected twist, Cena, known for his 20-year run as a beloved WWE superstar and his record-breaking work with Make-A-Wish, turned into a WWE 'bad guy' before GTA 6 hit the shelves. Highlighting this shift, Cena cleverly engaged with his 21 million Instagram followers by posting an image of GTA 6 alongside its slated 2025 release window. This move was not a hint at any involvement in the game but rather a playful nod to the ongoing meme.

Despite the light-hearted nature of Cena's post, some fans couldn't help but speculate whether it was a cryptic message about the game itself. This speculation is not surprising, given the intense interest and various theories surrounding GTA 6's release date and the eagerly anticipated Trailer 2.

As Cena embarks on his new 'bad guy' era, fans can mark their calendars for GTA 6, with its parent company Take-Two confirming a fall 2025 launch window. Meanwhile, discussions continue about the game's platform release strategy. In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer addressed the decision to release GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before PC, urging PC gamers to trust the studio's plans.

For those eager for more updates, there's ongoing coverage of GTA 6, including insights from Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick on the future of GTA Online once GTA 6 is released.
