The WWE revealed at the SmackDown tapings on Tuesday night that there will be a Divas Championship bout at the upcoming Elimination Chamber WWE Network special.
WWE SmackDown Spoilers For Thursday: Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt and More
Multiple sources report that it was revealed at the SmackDown tapings that Nikki Bella will defend her Divas Championship against the recently returned Paige and Naomi in a Triple Threat Match at Elimination Chamber on May 31 at Corpus Christi, TX.
On SmackDown, which is set to air this Thursday, Paige came out and said she is still technically No. 1 contender because she never got her shot at Bella. Naomi and Tamina then interrupted her and attacked her, leading to Bella making the save.

It was later revealed that Naomi, Bella and Paige would clash at Elimination Chamber.
Paige won a Divas Battle Royal in her native England last month to become No. 1 contender for the Divas Championship at Extreme Rules, but Naomi turned heel and attacked her after the bout, injuring her in storyline.
The injury angle was done so that Paige could be written off in order to go film the WWE Studios movie Santa's Little Helper alongside The Miz, who is expected to be out until the end of the month.
With Paige sidelined, Naomi became the No.1 contender for the title, causing The Bella Twins to shift to de facto faces due to Paige's absence and the recent retirement of AJ Lee.
Nikki successfully defended the gold at Extreme Rules on April 25 when her sister Brie Bella attacked Naomi from the outside, leading to a Rack Attack and pinfall victory for Nikki.
Tamina then returned to form a villainous duo with Naomi and the two defeated The Bella Twins this past Sunday at Payback from Baltimore. Naomi got the pinfall victory over Nikki.
Paige, a two-time Divas Champion, returned to television the next night on RAW to help Nikki thwart off an attack from Naomi and Tamina and now a Triple Threat Match was made for Elimination Chamber.
