I think his heat on SmackDown! was dubbed in, to be honest. There weren't breaks between the heat and when Kendrick was talking. Plus, reports said that the crowd was dead for his shit. I love Kendrick, but I think the act is still too fresh, and the WWE has done too good a job convincing people that they shouldn't care about him, for people to bite instantly.
Hopefully the perception of heat carries over and gets Kendrick over in due time. I'm amazed the WWE took the chance with him, and has kept it going this long. I keep expecting the plug to be pulled.
