Nowhere is there any proof of that.
The PPV's he's headlined since coming back as the Deadman have had very mediocre buy-rates and his segments on Smackdown are usually right in-line with the average for the show. So while he's not driving fans away, he's certainly not generating any special amount of interest. He
might still be a draw at the gate, but I really can't see how he would be any more popular than guys like Eddie, Kurt, and Cena on the Smackdown roster. I'm pretty sure most people think of those guys first when they buy a ticket for a Smackdown event.
