John Cena Turns Heel Before GTA 6 Release, Joins Meme Craze

by Aaliyah May 29,2025

If you're a fan of both WWE and video games, you'll love this crossover moment. John Cena, known worldwide as the face of wrestling's good guy, stunned everyone with a shocking heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber. To amp up the intrigue, he took to social media, sharing an image from Grand Theft Auto VI. Yes, you read that right—GTA 6. This move clearly signals he’s in on the meme surrounding the game's long-awaited release. For context, fans have been cracking jokes about the 12-year wait for Rockstar's next masterpiece, highlighting random milestones achieved before its rumored release.

In this instance, Cena’s heel turn takes the spotlight. As one of WWE's beloved icons, becoming a villain marks a significant shift in his career—a storyline many thought would never happen. It's almost poetic timing since this change predates GTA 6’s expected arrival in 2025.

John Cena's heel turn

Cena’s Instagram post features an image of GTA 6 with its 2025 release window, but don’t jump to conclusions—it’s not a leak about his involvement in the game. Instead, he's simply having fun with the viral joke. However, given the passionate GTA community’s history of dissecting every hint or tease, some speculate his post could hold deeper meaning.

Meanwhile, Rockstar Games remains tight-lipped about the specifics of GTA 6's development. In December 2023, a former developer explained why the game will debut on PC later than on consoles, urging patience from PC gamers. Fans are buzzing about when it will finally land on PC, with predictions ranging from 2025 to even further down the line.

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, recently addressed concerns regarding GTA Online’s future post-GTA 6, offering reassurance to players worried about continuity. Stay tuned for updates as we inch closer to the game's highly anticipated release.

Note: The poll above reflects fan speculation on GTA 6's PC release timeline.
