John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6, Embraces Meme

John Cena's unexpected heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, and he further engaged fans by sharing a Grand Theft Auto 6 image on social media. This move not only showcased his awareness of the ongoing meme but also highlighted his playful interaction with his 21 million Instagram followers. The meme in question stems from the long 12-year wait for Rockstar Games to release GTA 6, leading people to humorously point out the surprising events that have occurred before the game's release.

In this instance, it was John Cena's first heel turn in 20 years—a shift many believed would never happen. Known as the WWE's beloved 'good guy,' the Make-A-Wish record holder, and a celebrated actor, Cena's transformation into a WWE 'bad guy' occurred before the much-anticipated release of GTA 6.

Clearly enjoying the meme, Cena posted an image of GTA 6 along with its 2025 release window on Instagram. This was not a hint at his involvement in the game but rather a playful nod to the meme. However, some fans speculated that his post might be a cryptic hint about GTA 6 itself, given the community's eagerness for any news about the game's release or the second trailer.

John Cena's transition to a 'bad guy' era has indeed occurred before GTA 6's release, but the wait won't be much longer, as Take-Two has confirmed a fall 2025 launch window for the game.

In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer attempted to shed light on why GTA 6 will first be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before coming to PC. The developer urged PC gamers to be patient and give the studio the "benefit of the doubt" regarding these launch plans.

For those eagerly awaiting GTA 6 on PC, the question remains: When will it be available? Speculation suggests various possible release years, with some even wondering if it will ever happen. As anticipation builds, more insights and updates continue to surface, including Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick's comments on the future of GTA Online once GTA 6 is released.
