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 playfully acknowledged the long-awaited GTA 6 release by posting a GTA 6 image on social media. This taps into the prevalent meme highlighting events occurring before the game's launch.

The 12-year wait for GTA 6 has created a meme where users list unexpected occurrences preceding its release. Cena's heel turn – his first in two decades – perfectly fits this meme, as the beloved wrestler and actor transitioned to a villain role before GTA 6's arrival.

Cena's Instagram post, featuring a GTA 6 image and its 2025 release date, is clearly a humorous nod to the meme. While some speculate it hints at a role in the game, it's more likely a lighthearted social media interaction. The dedication of GTA fans to deciphering release dates and trailers makes such speculation understandable.

While Cena's villainous resurgence beat GTA 6's release, the game's launch is imminent, with Take-Two Interactive confirming a Fall 2025 release window.

In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer addressed the PC release timeline following the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launches, urging patience from PC gamers regarding the launch strategy.
