It was announced last week that Austin Aries would get yet another crack at the Cruiserweight crown in yet another pay-per-view at Extreme Rules on June 4, 2017, in Baltimore but because of the nature of the card it would need a stipulation added to it.
We got it:

Neville’s comments:
"You think it's important what type of match this is? If you hadn't noticed, I have taken great pleasure in making inferiors squeal like pigs from the moment I stepped foot in 205 Live. Now, last week I'm sure you watched as Austin Aries begged the King for mercy slam bang in the center of the ring. So, if anything, Mike Rome, I am overjoyed that this is a Submission Match. But there's nothing that is music to my ears more than the sound of Austin Aries' ligaments and bones cracking whilst he begs me to stop."
