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 joined the ongoing GTA 6 meme. The long-awaited release of GTA 6 has generated a meme highlighting events occurring before its launch. Cena's heel turn—his first in two decades—perfectly fits this meme, as the beloved wrestler and actor transitioned to a villainous role before GTA 6's arrival.

Acknowledging the meme, Cena posted a GTA 6 image on Instagram, showcasing the game's 2025 release window to his vast following. This isn't a GTA 6 role announcement, but rather a playful engagement with the popular online trend.

Despite Cena's clear meme participation, speculation persists about a cryptic connection between his post and the game. Given the fervent efforts of GTA fans to decipher release dates and trailers, this speculation is understandable.

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

In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer offered insight into the PC release timeline for GTA 6, following its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launch, urging PC gamers to remain patient.
