John Cena's recent heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, and he further engaged fans by posting a Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) image on social media. This move shows that Cena is fully aware of the popular meme surrounding the long-awaited game. The meme, born from the 12-year wait for GTA 6, humorously points out the surprising events that have occurred before the game's release.
In this instance, it's the unexpected turn of John Cena, the WWE superstar known for his "good guy" persona, into a heel—a villainous character. This transformation is especially noteworthy as it's Cena's first heel turn in over 20 years, making it a significant narrative shift in his career. To put it into perspective, even before the release of GTA 6, fans witnessed Cena, a beloved wrestler and actor renowned for his work with Make-A-Wish, embrace the role of a WWE 'bad guy.'
Clearly understanding the meme's appeal, Cena shared an image of GTA 6 on Instagram, highlighting its 2025 release window to his 21 million followers. This post was not a leak about his involvement in the game but rather a playful nod to the ongoing meme.
While Cena's post was meant in jest, it sparked speculation among GTA fans, some of whom believe it might hint at something related to the game. Given the intense efforts by fans to decipher any clues about GTA 6’s release date or the upcoming Trailer 2, such speculation is not surprising.
Indeed, John Cena's transition to a bad guy persona happened before GTA 6's arrival, but fans won't have to wait much longer. Take-Two Interactive has confirmed a fall 2025 launch window for the game.
In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer provided insights into why GTA 6 will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before coming to PC. The developer encouraged PC gamers to be patient and trust the studio's plan despite the controversial decision.
As anticipation builds, questions linger about when GTA 6 will hit PC platforms. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has also addressed concerns regarding the future of GTA Online once GTA 6 is released, providing more food for thought for eager fans.
