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 events that happened before the game's arrival. Cena's heel turn—his first in two decades—perfectly fits this meme, showcasing the unexpected shift from beloved "good guy" to villain.

Embracing 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 role announcement, but a lighthearted nod to the online joke. However, given the intense speculation surrounding GTA 6's release and details, some fans interpret even the slightest hint as a cryptic clue.
While Cena's villainous return predates GTA 6, the game's fall 2025 release, confirmed by Take-Two, is on the horizon. In December 2023, a former Rockstar developer addressed concerns about the PC release, following the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launches, urging patience from PC gamers.
