WWE SmackDown Results: Unexpected title change; Stipulation added to Elimination Chamber match last-minute

The SmackDown before Elimination Chamber was full of surprises!

Adam Pearce kicked off SmackDown and was getting ready for the match contract signing between Sonya Deville & Charlotte Flair, and Naomi & Ronda Rousey.

The four women joined him in the ring and started quarreling before Deville and Flair mentioned that there would be a special stipulation for the match tomorrow: Rousey will have to fight with one arm tied behind her back.

.@RondaRousey & @NaomiWWE set the tone for #WWEChamber! @SonyaDevilleWWE @MsCharlotteWWE #SmackDown https://t.co/4OK2ar4Lb8

Ronda Rousey was unfazed and said that she could beat Sonya Deville with no hands and so with one hand, it should be easy. Rousey and Naomi attacked their challengers and flipped the table before walking out.

It's ON tomorrow at #WWEChamber!
