In the main event, Adam Hangman Page made a surprise return to win the Casino Ladder Match and become the new No. 1 contender for the world title.

Dynamite did face some tough competition on Wednesday night, with the MLB Wildcard game between the LA Dodgers and the Arizona Cardinals on TBS. The game unseated Dynamite from its No. 1 ratings slot the show has held for a while now.

Per Showbuzz Daily, The MLB Wildcard game topped the ratings and viewership for the evening with a 1.73 rating in the key demo and 6.6.73 million viewers.
