John Cena’s recent heel turn at Elimination Chamber 2025 has shocked wrestling fans and will be remembered as one of the most iconic moments in WWE history. After claiming victory in the main event, Cena aligned himself with The Rock and turned against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. His transition into a villainous character has been a long-running meme akin to the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, with fans joking about it for over a decade.
Cena, who has played a heroic role for nearly 20 years, has undergone a transformation from his earlier persona as the Doctor of Thuganomics to a beloved main-event star. His good-guy image has made him a source of inspiration, particularly through his work with charitable organizations like Make-a-Wish. Many fans see this heel turn as comparable to Hulk Hogan’s infamous shift to Hollywood Hogan in 1996, which permanently altered the landscape of professional wrestling.
Adding to the intrigue, Cena is amidst his retirement tour and has a main event scheduled for WrestleMania 41, where he has the potential to make history with a 17th world championship win. His heel turn also cleverly references the ongoing meme surrounding GTA 6, which has fueled speculation in the gaming community.
As for GTA 6, it is still on track for release on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in Fall 2025. Recent reports have hinted at exciting features, including possible appearances by DJ Khaled in-game and potential user-generated content.
