John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6, Embraces Meme

John Cena's unexpected heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, marking his first time as a 'bad guy' in WWE in over 20 years. This surprising narrative shift became the latest entry in the long-running meme about the 12-year wait for Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6. The meme humorously points out the various things fans have experienced before the release of GTA 6, and Cena's heel turn is no exception.

Cena, ever the master of social media engagement, capitalized on the meme by posting an image of GTA 6 on Instagram, alongside its confirmed 2025 release window, to his 21 million followers. While this doesn't indicate any involvement in the game, it showcases Cena's playful nod to the ongoing meme culture surrounding GTA 6's long-awaited arrival.

Despite Cena's light-hearted post, some fans speculate that it might be a cryptic hint about GTA 6. Such speculation is common among the dedicated GTA community, who have tirelessly tried to decipher any clues about the game's release date or the release of Trailer 2.

John Cena's transition to a WWE villain happened before the release of GTA 6, but fans won't have to wait much longer, as Take-Two has committed to a fall 2025 launch window for the game.

In other GTA 6 news, a former Rockstar developer in December 2023 attempted to explain the decision to release GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before bringing it to PC, urging PC gamers to be understanding of the studio's launch strategy.

As anticipation builds, many are wondering when GTA 6 will be available on PC. While no official date has been confirmed, speculation ranges from 2025 to 2027, with some even humorously suggesting it might never happen.
