John Cena's unexpected heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, marking his first shift to a villainous role in 20 years. This surprising move has not only captivated fans but also played right into the hands of a popular internet meme. The meme, born from the lengthy wait for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6, highlights the incredible things people have experienced before the game's release. In this instance, it's John Cena's transformation into a WWE 'bad guy' that has happened before we finally see GTA 6.

Clearly aware of the meme, Cena shared a GTA 6 image on Instagram, playfully referencing its anticipated 2025 release to his 21 million followers. This was not a hint at his involvement in the game, but rather a fun nod to the ongoing meme culture. However, this hasn't stopped some fans from speculating that his post might contain a cryptic message about the game itself, given the intense scrutiny GTA 6 has received.
John Cena's transition to a 'bad guy' role happened before we got *GTA 6*, yet the wait for the game is nearing its end, with Take-Two confirming a fall 2025 launch window.In other GTA 6 news, a former Rockstar developer addressed the game's delayed PC release compared to its PS5 and Xbox Series X and S counterparts in December 2023. The developer urged PC gamers to remain patient and trust in Rockstar's plan.
While excitement builds for GTA 6, discussions continue about various aspects of the game, including Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick's comments on the future of GTA Online post-GTA 6 launch.
