And I don't think Cena would have to be a heel at all. The crowd shitting on him over Taker would fit perfectly into the angle since the main basis for his eventual turn should simply be 'I bust my ass for you, you still boo me'. I'm not seeing what money Vince McMahon can make from The Undertaker retiring having never been beaten at WrestleMania. I see big $$$ in John Cena turning heel and ending the streak.
Does WWE see big money in turning Cena heel and losing their merch machine, though?

Vince makes no money from Taker keeping the streak. But does he honestly get that much more with Cena beating the streak? What would he gain with Cena beating the streak? A tarnished blip on Taker's record and it'd be forgotten within four months. That's how Cena's character works.

In the long run, a heel Cena is best for the company if, and only if, they have a face who is equal or more than what Cena is now. Cena is the face of the company and turning him anytime soon would be a BAD move.

If WWE is willing to lose the merch or can get someone outside of anyone else on the roster right now to Cena's level, they can do it. But NO ONE is on face Cena's level outside of guys who will be gone within a few years.

And no, if crowds are shitting on Cena for months on end it doesn't work for his character. He'd be the heel and WWE would be forcing him into a face position, which would be terrible.

CM Punk and Colt Cabana are never going to hold all of the titles (including Womens) in WWE.
