It was a very co-dependent relationship that Cena is starting to outgrow.

I think the biggest credit to Cena is how the company sort of restructured around him. They shifted into a PG era, and have expanded to dip their hands into all these other different pots. If it pays off for them, Cena is likely going to be remembered as the guy that held the fort during those growing pains.
Biggest problem with Cena as a mega star was WWE failing miserably to take his base and mold it into the future base for the WWE. Kids love Cena but after a few years they leave en masse because they get bored of his booking and nothing else being as interesting because of WWE's neglect. His era being really long and Vince being very stubborn on building up future mega stars till recently is another reason for the lack of a future base.

Only reason it hasn't been catastrophic for the WWE is because they always had a constantly supply of kid fans to replace those that left during Cena's era.

I agree with this, by and large. I'm not sure how much the WWE has truly replenished its ranks though. Most of the people watching have probably been watching since the Attitude era, to be honest.

They replenished it mainly from female viewers due to Total Divas and NXT making women's wrestling meaningful in the WWE. Problem is they are very violate for weekly support but WWE needs them for big weekly increases to happen. Its a big reason why Bayley was hyped up as the female Cena since she had mega star potential to make them into a very reliable weekly group for the WWE

Forgot where I read and saw the chart but with Cena's demo of kids, they start to become almost non-existent in the teen years and start quitting being wrestling fans in general.
