Not sure since by the time he arrived, Smackdown wasn't on UPN anymore. That channel played a big role in Eddie Guerrero's rise as a big star and Rey Myetsrio cementing himself as WWE's top Hispanic star.
Also WWE pretty much botched his big face run so he wasn't going to succeed as a ratings draw even had it lasted longer than it did. Even if it wasn't botched, he'd still run into the big problem of Vince cutting the legs out of anyone who was getting too close to star status to Cena.
