John Cena surprised fans with a heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, marking his first time as a WWE 'bad guy' in over 20 years. Following this shocking narrative shift, Cena playfully joined in on the popular Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) meme by sharing an image of the game on social media. The meme highlights the lengthy 12-year wait for Rockstar to release GTA 6, with fans humorously noting the various events that have occurred during this period.
