When will John Cena turn heel?

WCW brought him in and had established faces to draw on. And they knew the NWO in that era was gonna draw as heels with Hogan as the leader especially. Unless WWE comes up with an amazing plan for Cena to still draw as much as he's drawing now as a heel, he will stay a face for a very, very, very long time.

I gotta agree with this. The WWE won't pull the trigger on a Cena heel turn until he dries up financially as a face -- or until there is some outside pressure from a company (which TNA is not yet providing) for them to do something drastic creatively.

EXCELLENT point and it bears worth quoting. If the WWE were going to turn Cena heel due to a lack of positive crowd reaction, they would have done it already (i.e. mid/late 2007....or even earlier). The WWE are going to 'milk' Cena for all he's worth.

I still contend that WHEN Cena turns heel, he will go down as one of the greatest heels of all-time. The problem with turning someone face/heel too quickly, is that it kills the wrestler's crowd reactions after awhile. Although I would have disagreed with this a few years ago, I actually think the WWE has done a wise thing in keeping Cena face.
