Wednesday’s Smash Night, 1 edition of Dynamite reportedly attracted 662,000 viewers (-32% from last week) on TNT, with a rating of 0.25 (-37.5%) in the 18-49 demographic range.
The numbers are lower than last week’s edition of Dynamite’s Brodie Lee Celebration of Life, which drew 977,000 viewers with a rating of 0.40 in the main demographic group.
New Year’s Wednesday evil edition of NXT reportedly attracted 641,000 viewers (+ 9.4%) on the US network, with a rating of 0.16 (+ 33.3%) in the 18-49 demographic range.
