WWE Elimination Chamber event took a wild turn when John Cena shocked everyone by turning heel for the first time in over 20 years.
The 16-time world champion betrayed Cody Rhodes and teamed up with The Rock, leaving fans stunned. Social media exploded with reactions, and Cena decided to have some fun too.
He posted a Grand Theft Auto 6 image on Instagram, joking about how his heel turn happened before the game’s release.
Let’s dive into what led to this jaw-dropping moment and how fans are responding.
John Cena’s Heel Turn at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025
WWE fans were left in shock at the Elimination Chamber event on March 1, 2025, in Toronto. John Cena, the ultimate good guy for over two decades, turned villain for the first time since 2003.
After winning the men’s Elimination Chamber match and earning a title shot at WrestleMania 41, Cena seemed to be having a big moment. But things took a wild turn when Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes came out to congratulate him.
Just as Rhodes was celebrating with Cena, The Rock stepped into the ring. He had been trying to get Rhodes to join him as his corporate champion, but Rhodes wasn’t interested. That’s when Cena, following The Rock’s signal, shocked everyone with a low blow to Rhodes. Travis Scott, who was at ringside, joined in as Cena and The Rock brutally attacked Rhodes, leaving the crowd stunned.
Cena’s decision to turn heel changes everything. He’s been the face of WWE for 23 years, and now he’s stepping into a whole new role as a villain. His upcoming match against Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 is now even more personal.
With The Rock and Travis Scott in the mix, this storyline isn’t just about wrestling—it’s a pop culture moment. Triple H called this one of the most unforgettable moments in WWE history, and fans won’t forget it anytime soon.
The GTA 6 Meme: “We Got a John Cena Heel Turn Before GTA 6”
In pro wrestling, a “heel turn” is when a good guy (Babyface) suddenly becomes the bad guy. John Cena, who’s been the face of WWE for over 20 years, finally shocked fans by turning heel at the WWE Elimination Chamber event on March 1, 2025.
People have been joking for years that we’d never see Cena as a villain—just like how GTA 6 has been in development forever with no release date in sight. That’s why the internet blew up with the meme: “We got a John Cena heel turn before GTA 6.”
Cena even joined in on the fun, posting the GTA 6 logo on Instagram without a caption, proving he’s in on the joke.
Fans quickly connected the dots, linking it to the long-running meme about waiting forever for GTA 6. Some even joked that Cena turning heel happened before the game’s release. Of course, this got people talking, with many wondering if Cena might actually be involved in the game.
So far, nothing official has been announced, but the speculation is definitely running wild.
