If they're teasing it, it's not happening

Cena makes the WWE 100mil a year.
Yeah, he's not turning until they can find someone else who can make an insane amount for them.

If Cena turned heel the fanbase wouldn't stop watching, they'd probably redistribute that money to merch for whoevers he's fueding against, plus if he was heel the adult males would start buying his shirts.

They are teasing it too much. It has to be outtanowhere and shocking. Like when HBK kicked Hogan in the head.

I don't think The adult male audience would buy nearly as many shirts. Especially since a lot of the real smarky types would rather buy those absolutely dire barber shop window shirts.

If Cena turned heel the fanbase wouldn't stop watching, I think his fanbase would. There was a significant drop in ratings when Cena was on the shelf. That means his fanbase just simply stopped watching when he was gone. They'll do it again if he turns heel. It's too big a risk.

People always talk about Cena's merch sales as the reason that he won't ever turn heel.
But does anyone realize how minuscule that amount is compared to the amount the WWE makes from ticket sales, TV deals, and PPV buys?
I'm not saying he's going to turn heel any time soon, but the idea that it's because of a few t-shirt sales is laughable.

But does anyone realize how minuscule that amount is compared to the amount the WWE makes from ticket sales, TV deals, and PPV buys? I'm not saying he's going to turn heel any time soon, but the idea that it's because of a few t-shirt sales is laughable. It's far greater than t-shirts, it's the demographics. Cena appeals to young fans the way guys like Hogan and to a lesser extent the Ultimate Warrior did in their heydays. The WWE thrives on these young fans to get their parents to take them to live events and order the PPVs. For the WWE, they don't have anyone right now that can replace Cena. Short-term or long-term. The closest they have is Daniel Bryan, I suppose, but I don't think he can completely replace Cena's marketability. Same with Sheamus. Plus from a shareholder's perspective; when they have their conference call, what's going to be the answer for turning Cena heel? Shift the dynamics? Well, that's fine and good when it's somebody else's money being invested. There is a genuine risk in trying to replace Cena's marketability with young kids onto another individual or group without any guarantee that the replacement is a viable option. It would be nice for Cena to turn heel at some point, but the WWE has to have absolute certainty that they have guys on their roster that can offset Cena's turn. If they do turn him heel, that indicates the company has identified that guy. If they don't, then they're afraid of the risk they run. Eventually, the WWE is gonna have to face that day so they better get their shit together.
