The November 10th episode from Indianapolis averaged 913,000 viewers with 450,000 (0.35) in the 18-49 demographic with data from Showbuzz Daily and Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.
The number was improved from last week, which was its lowest Wednesday night performance since July 7th.
This week’s show grew 4 percent overall viewers and was up 6 percent in the 18-49 demo. This was the third straight week where Dynamite has been airing live across the U.S. and being affected by an earlier start time in the Pacific time zone and portions of those in the Mountain time zone.
