WWE has announced that Nikki Bella will defend her newly acquired WWE Divas Title in a re-match against former Champion Beth Phoenix at this Sunday's WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view. In a storyline update, WWE's official website reports that Beth has been cleared to wrestle on Sunday, despite the injury she suffered on Monday's RAW show this week. WWE are really pushing in storylines that Beth is not going into the match 100% fit and that she is still recovering from her injuries, probably to protect her if they decide to keep the title off her after the pay-per-view. We have been told if Nikki Bella successfully defends her title on Sunday then it is a good indicator that The Bella Twins have signed a contract extension to stay with the company. The updated WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view card is detailed below. No more matches are expected to be added at this point; Extreme Rules Match John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar 2 of 3 Falls Match for the World Heavyweight Title Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus Chicago Street Fight for the WWE Title Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk Intercontinental Title Match Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show Stipulation TBA Falls Count Anywhere Match Randy Orton vs. Kane WWE Divas Title Match Beth Phoenix vs. Nikki Bella WWE United States Title Pre-Show Match The Miz vs. Santino Marella Meanwhile in other WWE Divas news, Kelly Kelly has reached 500,000 Twitter followers despite the company having little for her to do right now.
