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

John Cena, following his surprising heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, playfully acknowledged the long-awaited GTA 6 meme on social media. The meme highlights events occurring before the anticipated GTA 6 release, a delay spanning twelve years.

Cena's heel turn—his first in two decades—perfectly fits the meme's criteria. The beloved wrestler and actor's transformation into a WWE villain predates GTA 6's arrival.

Cena's Instagram post, showcasing a GTA 6 image alongside its 2025 release date, is a lighthearted nod to the meme, not a game-related leak. However, given the intense speculation surrounding GTA 6's release and marketing, some interpret the post as a cryptic hint.

While Cena's embrace of the meme is clear, the possibility of a hidden message remains. The fervent efforts of GTA fans to decipher release dates and trailers fuel this speculation.

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

A former Rockstar developer recently addressed the PC release timeline, following the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launches, urging patience and understanding from PC gamers.
