John Cena's surprise heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber wasn't just a wrestling event; it became a meme. The long-awaited release of GTA 6 has spawned a humorous trend highlighting unexpected events that occurred before its launch. Cena's heel turn—his first in two decades—perfectly fits this meme, transforming the beloved wrestler into a villain before GTA 6 even arrived.
Capitalizing on the meme, Cena posted a GTA 6 image on Instagram, playfully acknowledging the situation to his 21 million followers. This wasn't a GTA 6 casting announcement, but a lighthearted nod to the online joke.
Despite Cena's clear meme participation, some speculate his post holds a cryptic clue about the game. Given the intense fan speculation surrounding GTA 6's release date and marketing, this isn't entirely surprising.
So, John Cena's villainous return predates GTA 6, but the game's release is on the horizon, with Take-Two Interactive confirming a Fall 2025 launch window.
In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer addressed the PC release timeline for GTA 6, following its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launches, urging PC gamers to remain patient.
