Recently, John Cena blew minds across the WWE universe after turning against Cody Rhodes at the Elimination Chamber PPV. This major heel turn comes as his retirement tour unfolds, and while many predicted it, it’s still surprising.
Following the win at Elimination Chamber, the 47-year-old superstar took to social media to post a promotional image of Grand Theft Auto 6 with no caption or context. This has fuelled speculation online, with fans of both the franchise and the iconic athlete believing that John Cena could be in GTA 6.
Highly Unlikely
Nobody understands why John Cena would post a promotional image for GTA 6 on his Instagram page, but he did it, and that’s all we know.
To be fair, his bio suggests we should anticipate posts like this:
These images will be posted without explanation, for your interpretation. Enjoy.
It’s up to us to decide what the post means, then.
Many have surmised that it’s Cena’s take on the ‘before GTA 6’ meme that has run rampant on social media in the past few months.
‘We got a John Cena heel turn before GTA 6’, kind of thing.
It’s not unheard of for celebrities to appear in a Grand Theft Auto game, but it is unlikely that Rockstar Games or Take-Two would have ‘allowed’ Cena to make the post if he were involved with the game. That’s just too much of a spoiler.
Cena has more time on his hands now, so perhaps he has lent his voice and acting talents to the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto series. Who knows? He appeared in PGA Tour 2K23, and Take-Two was the publisher for WWE games for many years, so he has a connection to Take-Two in some way.
