STIPULATION ADDED TO EXTREME RULES PPV AND MORE WWE NEWS AND NOTES

The Rob Van Dam vs. Jack Swagger vs. Cesaro bout at Extreme Rules will now be an Elimination match.

Mick Foley praised the WWE website column on Sabu, writing on his Facebook that it was, "A great article on Sabu, whose contributions to the wrestling business have gone largely overlooked. Sabu and I had some great matches together - and I used them as one of my main inspirations when preparing for my WWE #Backlash 2004 match with Randy Orton. Seeing how hard Sabu and I worked in front of relatively small crowds, for relatively little money reminded me of what type of wrestler I had once been...and hoped I could become one last time. Whether we realize it or not, Sabu's guts and innovative style has been inspiring wrestlers around the world for over 20 years."

WWE NXT talents Jason Jordan and Baron Corbin are being brought in for the PPV and this week's TV tapings.

Bret Hart noted on Twitter that today would have been Stu Hart's 99th birthday. If you ever get a chance to read the Stu hart biography that was published by ECW Press in 2002, it's well worth your time.

We noted earlier that the first Clash of Champions will air Monday on the WWE Network. The second one, Miami Mayhem (Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson vs. Sting & Dusty Rhodes main event) will air on Tuesday. The first one is already available via VOD if you go to where it is listed on the Network schedule.

Saturday Night's Main Event episodes are slated to be added to the WWE Network rotation after all the Clashes have been added.

Hulk Hogan and Batista will be incorporated into the WWE comic book series by issue #8.
