Smackdown audience, Takeover notes, WWE cancels tour, Bryan on depression, Interviews with Charlotte/Riddle/Jericho, WWE-NASCAR connection, FTR update, and Questions on Tucker's whereabouts and Nia injuries

Smackdown drew 1.94 million viewers Friday night, a drop from last week. Whether that's a reaction to the Jeff Hardy DWI angle is open to interpretation.

Takeover: In Your House will have a Watch Along with Natalya, Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, and more.

WWE canceled their Japan tour scheduled for July. Tickets will be refunded, and there are no current plans to return to the country. That's not unexpected given the pandemic.

Daniel Bryan discussed depression on The Bella Twins' YouTube channel. His openness is appreciated.

Code Orange has been teased as performing at Takeover.

Charlotte Flair spoke to Daily Star about Bayley's heel turn. It's been good to see a fresh direction for her.

Matt Riddle spoke to talkSPORT about Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and more.

- Riddle also spoke to Metro about Tyson Fury.

Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles will be NASCAR grand marshals on FS1 Wednesday night.

FTR indicated they haven't signed with AEW beyond a short-term agreement. However, they are open to doing so. I hope we see good things for them.

Chris Jericho spoke to WrestleZone about favorite matches of his.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'd like to think they're saving his return for something meaningful, but I won't hold my breath.

Nothing to add to 2 or 3.

4. I would think being out of the ring for a year could play into it, too. She's been trained to be big and dominant, not work a technical classic.

5. Not really. I haven't really been to a large number of live shows.

More wrestling tomorrow.
