John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6, Embraces Meme

Author : Savannah Apr 12,2025

John Cena's unexpected heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, but he wasn't done surprising fans. The WWE superstar, known for his heroic persona, embraced a meme about the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 by posting an image of the game on social media. This move came after a 12-year wait for GTA 6, a delay that has fueled numerous memes about things people received before the game's release.

For those not in the know, the meme highlights the surprising events that have occurred during the wait for GTA 6. In this instance, it was John Cena's first heel turn in over two decades, a narrative shift many believed would never happen. Cena, a beloved figure known for his record-breaking Make-A-Wish visits and his role as a 'good guy' in WWE, has now embraced the 'bad guy' persona before the release of GTA 6.

Cena, clearly aware of the meme, shared an image of GTA 6 and its 2025 release window on Instagram, reaching his 21 million followers. While this doesn't indicate any involvement in the game itself, it's a playful nod to the ongoing meme culture surrounding GTA 6.

Despite the fun, some fans speculate that Cena's post might hint at something more about GTA 6. Given the intense efforts by the GTA community to uncover details about the game's release and upcoming trailers, such speculation is not surprising.

As John Cena steps into his new role as a WWE 'bad guy,' fans won't have to wait much longer for GTA 6, with its parent company Take-Two confirming a fall 2025 launch window.

In other news, a former Rockstar developer explained in December 2023 why GTA 6 will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before coming to PC, urging PC gamers to trust the studio's decision.
