Personally, I see no reason why John Cena couldn't get away with a heel turn.
John Cena continues to get great responses from the crowds. They're are more boos than cheers, but NOBODY sits on their hands when he's out there. At the same time, however, Cena's character has really gotten stale and I think there's a real possibility that a lot of fans are just sort of burned out with him. Yes, he still sells merchendise and yes he's still over with fans but people are changing the channel a lot more now when Cena comes on than they were a few years back.
In WCW, one reason why Hulk Hogan went heel was because his act as the ultimate wrestling good guy had gotten quite stale. He was still Hulk Hogan. He was still the star, but a lot of people were burned out on Hulkamania. A heel turn kept Hulk Hogan relevant and interesting. A heel turn for John Cena will generate a lot of buzz and, for the short term at least, get a lot of people interested in John Cena that've grown tired of him. Whether or not WWE can sustain the interest would depend a lot on John Cena. I believe if they did turn him heel and ultimately just let him go out there and say what he wants, within reasonable limits of course as he can't go out there dropping F bombs or anything, then Cena could once again become someone that you want to see in a main event spot rather than be someone you're just flat out tired of seeing in the main event.
