Smackdown audience, Undertaker press, Dark lineup, new Takeover match, new Bloodsport match, NXT UK signing, Interviews with Jey/Cedric, Impact name taking COVID precautions, and Questions on Jericho anniversary guests, Raw Roulette, Takeover timing, Apter magazines, Pillman in AEW, turning on Keith, and Ric's sneakers

Smackdown drew 2.03 million viewers Friday night.

The Undertaker responded to IGN comments. Pretty entertaining. 

Dark this week is advertising:

- Billy and Austin Gunn vs. Shawn Dean and Cezar Bononi

- Penelope Ford vs. Alex Gracia

- Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian vs. Ray Rosas and Ryzin

- Nyla Rose vs. Rache Chanel

- Colt Cabana and John Silver vs. Natural Nightmares

- Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy vs. Alan Angels and Preston Vance

- Tay Conti vs. Red Velvet

- Luther and Serpentico vs. Btian Pillman, Jr. and Griff Garrison

- Best Friends vs. M'Badu and Bishop King

Takeover 31 has added Velveteen Dream vs. Kushida

Bloodsport has announced "Filthy" Tom Lawlor vs. Homicide. 

NXT UK has signed Adam Maxted.

Jey Uso promoted Clash of Champions with TalkSport. 

Cedric Alexander spoke to TalkSport about cruiserweights and more. The cruiserweight designation really feels outdated in 2020 given the size difference between wrestlers now and 25 years ago.

Ethan Page has pulled out of Warrior Wrestling as a COVID precaution. 

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:

Nothing to add to 1. 

2. On top of those names, I'd reach out to some Impact names he has history with. This is a potentially major episode and they should get all they can out of it.

3. They usually did them in places with a big casino culture. Honestly, it could come down to the number of script changes they have in a night. It's much easier to not have to book a bunch of gimmick matches. 

4. I'm also surprised. It's possible a draft is coming really soon and they wanted to have one last Takeover beforehand. Though, of course, plans for the draft could have changed!

5. I didn't read many, but have a big respect for the path they paved.

6. As long as the AEW dates don't conflict with MLW dates, he's in the clear. 

7. It would not shock me at all. It's pretty much the rule rather than the exception that fans will turn on someone they loved before they made it to a bigger stage. 

8. Presumably it was a matter of coming to terms. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
