John Cena's Heel Turn Precedes GTA 6 Release, Fueling Meme Speculation

Following his surprising heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, John Cena fueled the long-running GTA 6 meme by posting a GTA 6 image on social media. The 12-year wait for GTA 6 has created a meme highlighting events occurring before its release. Cena's heel turn – his first in two decades – perfectly fits this meme, as the beloved wrestler turned villain before GTA 6's arrival.

Cena's Instagram post, featuring a GTA 6 image and its 2025 release date, playfully acknowledges the meme. While this doesn't confirm Cena's involvement in GTA 6, it adds to the ongoing online humor.

Despite the lighthearted nature, speculation persists about a possible cryptic message within Cena's post. Given the intense fan speculation surrounding GTA 6's release and marketing, this is unsurprising.

While Cena's villainous return predates GTA 6, the game's release is imminent, with Take-Two Interactive confirming a Fall 2025 launch window. A former Rockstar developer recently addressed concerns about the PC release, following its launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, urging patience from PC gamers.
