Would be huge although it has to last and not be similar to HBK's heel turn against Hogan. HBK only acted heel for a few weeks and went right back to normal once Hogan was gone as if it never happened. Would be a big waste if he turns heel only to go right back to normal after Extreme Rules since the Rock is gone by then.
ESPN interview with Cena where he explains the reasons why he doesn't turn heel. Basically he doesn't want to stop all that extra stuff the WWE has him do and he doesn't want to go all out as a "bad guy."

ESPN: I know you said you’re not playing a character earlier, and how you’re playing yourself, but a lot of fans continue to clamor for a John Cena heel turn. I know in the past you’ve said you’re against it, but what if it was the best written script possible, something that would completely change the landscape of WWE? Would you go full-out heel and make the kids cry for maybe a year, or is that just not in the plans?
Cena: I just don’t see me getting there in order to please a very small group of 30-year-olds. To be very honest with you, every single week I meet kids with life-threatening illnesses and they’ll tell me how much I mean to them, and their parents will tell me how inspirational I’ve been to their kids. We raised a million dollars last year for breast cancer. I’m helping spearhead the Hurricane Sandy relief fund at this year’s WrestleMania. I’ve been able to give back to the military in Tribute to the Troops. And I’m currently working on a program to help America shave 5 million pounds. All of this stuff I would have to stop if I was a “bad guy.” To be a bad guy, you actually have to be a bad guy. I just don’t have it in me, personally. So although you might get a great story out of it for nine months, doing it would just take away so much, and I don’t have that club in the bag.
