Dynamite drew a 0.35 rating in the key 18-49 demographic this week. This is even with last week's show. The 0.35 key demographic rating represents around 447,000 viewers who watched the show from that 18-49 demo. This is down 1.54% from last week's 454,000 18-49 viewers that the 0.35 key demo rating represented, according to Wrestlenomics.

This week's Dynamite marked the fourth week in a row where viewership dropped.
