John Cena made headlines with his surprising heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, and he's clearly aware of the buzz it created. To playfully engage with fans, he posted an image from Grand Theft Auto 6 on social media, tapping into a popular meme born from the 12-year wait for the game's release. This meme humorously points out things fans have experienced before GTA 6's arrival. In Cena's case, it was his first heel turn in 20 years—a major shift for the WWE superstar known for his good-guy persona, his record-breaking involvement with Make-A-Wish, and his widespread appeal as a wrestler and actor.

With a playful nod to the meme, Cena shared an image of GTA 6 and its 2025 release window with his 21 million Instagram followers. This move isn't a hint at his involvement in the game, but rather a fun social media moment. However, some fans are speculating that his post might be a cryptic clue about GTA 6 itself, showcasing the dedication of GTA enthusiasts trying to decode any possible hints about the game's release or the eagerly awaited Trailer 2.

John Cena's new era as a WWE villain has begun before the release of GTA 6, but fans won't have to wait much longer, as Take-Two has committed to a fall 2025 launch window for the game. In other GTA 6 news, a former Rockstar developer in December 2023 attempted to explain the decision to release GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S before PC, urging PC gamers to trust the studio's plans despite the controversy.
