In Canada, Dynamite averaged 101,400 viewers and 38,800 in the 25-54 demographic on TSN 2, so the show didn’t have a spike due to it airing from Canada nor the main event between Canadians Christian Cage and Adam Copeland. Last week’s numbers were 102,000 and 47,300 in the demo.
Dynamite ranked tenth among sports programs in Canada on Wednesday with the programming led by the Carolina Hurricanes vs. Edmonton Oilers, Miami Heat vs. Toronto Raptors, and Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Tampa Bay Lightning.
