The only result would be that the bones will be relocated. Shakespeare did have a morbid fear of being disturbed after burial, but I suspect he's over it. Out of respect, we should avoid disturbing his resting place, but if the need arises, we should move the bones (or whatever is left). We may even learn some interesting things!

The inscription on his grave cover asks that anyone disturbing the grave should be cursed. Shakespeare probably didn't write that inscription, and the idea that he had a morbid fear of being disturbed is based exclusively on that inscription. Which means that it wasn't Shakespeare who had the morbid fear of being moved. I doubt that anyone takes the curse seriously, but in any event there is no way anyone is going to disturb a tourist mecca like Shakespeare's grave.
