John Cena made headlines with his unexpected heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, marking his first time playing the 'bad guy' in over two decades. This surprising shift in his WWE persona coincided with a playful nod to the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). Cena, known for his roles as a beloved WWE superstar and actor, posted an image of GTA 6 on social media, engaging with a popular meme about the game's long-awaited release.
The meme in question humorously points out the things fans have experienced before the release of GTA 6, which has been in development for 12 years. Cena's heel turn became the latest entry in this list, amusingly highlighting that fans have seen this WWE narrative change before getting their hands on the new game.

Cena shared the GTA 6 image on Instagram, acknowledging the meme and its 2025 release window to his 21 million followers. While this sparked some speculation about a possible role for Cena in GTA 6, it's more likely a lighthearted social media interaction rather than a hint at his involvement in the game.
As fans continue to speculate about GTA 6, including the release of Trailer 2 and the game's eventual launch, Cena's post adds a fun twist to the anticipation. With Take-Two confirming a fall 2025 release, the wait for GTA 6 won't be much longer.In other news, a former Rockstar developer in December 2023 discussed the decision to release GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before PC, urging PC gamers to remain patient and trust the studio's plans.
With the excitement building, fans are eager to learn more about GTA 6. For additional insights, check out Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick's comments on the future of GTA Online post-GTA 6 launch.
