Wrestling Observer Live: WWE Elimination Chamber & NJPW Battle in the Valley fallout

I am back with another Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live and a busy Saturday night that saw both WWE and NJPW pay-per-views.

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Roman Reigns retained the Undisputed Universal title over Sami Zayn in Montreal. I talk about whether or not this was the right call and discuss the rest of the night’s results.

Nearly at the same time, New Japan Pro Wrestling held Battle in the Valley in San Jose, California, which saw the promotional in-ring debut of Mercedes Mone as she defeated KAIRI for the IWGP Women’s title.

Also on the show, Eddie Kingston’s win over Jay White means he can no longer wrestle in NJPW and Okada defeated Tanahashi in the main event to retain the IWGP World title.

Plus, I talk the build to AEW Revolution, Tony Khan’s Wednesday announcement and this week’s Dynamite lineup, and more.
