This week's WWE NXT episode opened with a graphic noting the passing of Leon "Big Van Vader" White. The Network's programming feed also ran a crawl noting Vader's passing with a number of comments from those within WWE about his passing.
I expect WWE will announce a Vader Collection will be added to the WWE Network at any point.
Mick Foley wrote a really great Facebook post remembering White that is well worth going out of your way to read at this link. The post includes the foreword Foley wrote for White's autobiography, which was slated to be released within the next year.
Sting took to Twitter to remember White, who was one of his greatest rivals:
Loved working with Leon, loved the friendship I had with him for many years, and especially these last 8 months of his life. He will truly be missed. pic.twitter.com/32cWMdH2yX

Triple H also commented on Vader's passing:
Leon White entertained (and intimidated) audiences all over the world with his size, strength, and agility. Saddened to hear of his passing and our thoughts are with his family at this time. #RIPVader pic.twitter.com/5jtryoSvpI
