SD probably could have supplanted RAW earlier than it did as the new flagship show for WWE assuming they stayed on UPN.
Eddie and Mysterio were huge ratings generators for WWE's latino tv market and more importantly that group (and African Americans to a degree) acted as a big stabilizer for SD's ratings while RAW was suffering big yearly declines. Eddie dying and SD moving to USA Network hampered the big impact WWE's latino market had on their ratings.
Not until the Women's Revolution/Evolution movement did WWE have another demo group act as a key stabilizer for their declining ratings.
