Brandon Thurston (@BrandonThurston) Tweeted:The opening quarter-hour with the return of CM Punk was watched by 1,341,000 viewers on average and 842,000 in the demo (0.65).https://t.co/Z0rG5QbZu4

1.34 million viewers. That would TNA's second best viewed show of all time when they were doing a million weekly on Spike. That's a huge quarter segment for a non-WWE show. Raw honestly barely beats that some days.

 

[Vegeta]

The week they beat Raw I truly feel it could happen.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Probably not Rampage, but I see a Dynamite doing it when they do one of their supercard shows on TNT.

 

[Vegeta]

oh yeah, it would be Dynamite when it ever happens

 

[Marty McFourth]

Great rating. I would have loved to see what it would have popped if it was able to have the Smackdown hour. That is great for so late.

I'm sure it'll be the biggest Dynamite rating in a while, maybe even ever.

It's just insane to me that Punk wasn't even officially announced and he was able to sell out the place and pop ratings just on his name floating about. I guess Punk 'moved the needle'

 

[Necro]

Solid number, lets see how they trend over the next 4 weeks, and see if it goes down over time.

 

[Chris]

This week will be the first taped one I think? So should be a pretty decent drop realistically
