Sheamus has been announced for this Sunday's WWE Extreme Rules pre-show. The former WWE Champion will join Josh Matthews, Booker T and Alex Riley as a member of the pre-show panel.

The Extreme Rules pre-show is set to air at 7:30pm EST, just before the pay-per-view event airs on the WWE Network.

In other Extreme Rules news, while WWE's official site is promoting a one hour post-show on Sunday, the Network schedule still lists a 30 minute show that will begin at 11pm EST. It mentions that the pay-per-view replay will begin at 11:30pm EST. There's been no confirmation as to which one is correct.
