The Rock says he "can guarantee that (he) can always do both".

If The Rock and John Cena wrestle, then the smart business decision is for John Cena to win. Cleanly. The Rock understands this. He got that sort of rub from Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X-8. The Rock winning does nothing for him. They might give random wins to celebrities for mainstream attention, but they are not going to have The Rock prove that yesteryear was better than today.

Unless The Rock turns heel...

Also, Cena will turn heel when his merchandise sales start dwindling, and Vince feels it's time for professional wrestling to enter a new "era." Not only will Cena need to no longer be a cash-cow, but more importantly, there needs to be someone who can step up to the plate. Right now, there's not really anyone. Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton are probably the closest two, but Rey isn't the healthiest anymore, and Orton's just not...that guy.

In fact, it's probably more important to Vince that the new guy be someone special, because it's going to be up to him to make lots of money, whereas if Cena's worth drops off, if there's no one better what's the harm in keeping Cena the top face?
