Gamers waiting for GTA 6 went into a speculative frenzy. John Cena encouraged them

John Cena gave another GTA 6 „teaser” to fans of the series, who are still bogged down by the lack of information from Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive.

Players have spotted another "teaser" for Grand Theft Auto 6 - about as credible as "leaks" from the Moon.

This time, the attention of Rockstar Games studio fans (starved for news about the new game) was drawn by John Cena himself. The famous wrestler, and recently also a film actor, is currently on the WWE Retirement Tour. This series of tournaments precedes his retirement, which he announced for July 2024. Yesterday he won his last cup in the Elimination Chamber competition, defeating Phillip Jack "CM Punk" Brooks.

Right after that, a post featuring promotional graphics for GTA 6 showed up on Cena's Instagram account - with no description (via Insider Gaming).

Context, John Cena and GTA 6 not found

If you have been following the story of "leaks" about the sixth Grand Theft Auto, even just over the past year, you probably won't be surprised by the internet users' reaction to such a post. It's enough to say that the authors of some threads on social media were even writing about John Cena "confirming" his appearance in GTA 6.

This is of course an overstatement, but even more cautious speculations about this "teaser" should be approached with a good amount of skepticism. As many people notice, Cena emphasizes in the description on Instagram that "graphics will be posted without any explanations." If this doesn't suggest that the American is posting random posts without context, a glance at his "wall" should dispel any doubts.

Of course, there is a chance that the wrestler is actually trying to "tease" his appearance in Grand Theft Auto VI. However, some players assume that this is a variation on the meme about how various things happened "before GTA 6" (in this case, it's about the Cena's heel turn—or, to put it mildly, a change from "hero" to "villain"—in reference to the events of the weekend, as seen on Reddit).

Nonetheless, Rockstar Games fans quickly started to play with the concept of an "invisible" John Cena in Grand Theft Auto 6. It's hard to be surprised, since the developer hasn't given them anything in a long time. Even as lunar entries or other completely certain and verified "teasers."
