John Cena surprised fans by turning heel at WWE Elimination Chamber, marking his first villainous role in over 20 years. This unexpected shift in his WWE persona became the latest entry in the popular meme about things that have happened before the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). The meme, which has been circulating for 12 years, highlights the surprising events that have occurred during the wait for Rockstar Games to release their next installment in the GTA series.
Embracing the meme, Cena shared an image of GTA 6 on Instagram, playfully acknowledging the 2025 release window to his 21 million followers. While this has sparked speculation among fans about potential hints or involvement in the game, it's more likely Cena was simply having fun with the meme rather than hinting at a role in GTA 6.
The anticipation for GTA 6 remains high, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has confirmed a fall 2025 launch window for the game. Meanwhile, a former Rockstar developer in December 2023 addressed the controversy surrounding the game's planned release schedule, which prioritizes console releases before the PC version. The developer urged PC gamers to trust Rockstar's strategy.
As the countdown to GTA 6's release continues, the gaming community remains abuzz with speculation and excitement. For more updates on GTA 6, including insights from Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick on the future of GTA Online post-GTA 6, stay tuned.
