John Cena's GTA 6 Heel Turn: Meme Confirmed

Author : Logan Mar 14,2025

John Cena's surprise heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber wasn't just a wrestling event; it became a meme, perfectly timed with the ongoing saga of Grand Theft Auto 6's delayed release. The 12-year wait for GTA 6 has spawned countless jokes highlighting things people experienced before its release. Cena's heel turn—his first in two decades—perfectly fits this meme. The beloved wrestler, known for his "good guy" persona and Make-A-Wish record, unexpectedly transitioned to a "bad guy," beating GTA 6 to the punch.

Cena, clearly aware of the meme, posted a GTA 6 image on Instagram, alongside its 2025 release window, to his 21 million followers. This wasn't a GTA 6 casting announcement, but rather a playful nod to the ongoing online joke. However, given the fervent speculation surrounding GTA 6's release and marketing, some fans still interpret Cena's post as a cryptic clue.

While Cena's heel turn undeniably predates GTA 6's release, the game's arrival in Fall 2025 (as confirmed by Take-Two) is just around the corner. In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer offered insight into the PC release timeline, urging patience from PC gamers regarding the staggered launch.
