What could go down at the NXT TakeOver: San Antonio live special?

On Saturday night, WWE NXT will present their first live special of 2017 with NXT TakeOver: San Antonio. It will precede the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, which takes place one night later.

The TakeOver: San Antonio match card hasn’t received the major headlines like other shows before this. It doesn’t include any flashy matches or must-see debuts, but there may be hidden gems in there with the NXT Women’s Championship match and the TakeOver arrival of Roderick Strong.

There are five matches set to take place and memorable moments potentially set to be made. What could happen at the show?

Tye Dillinger Loses Again

Tye Dillinger hasn’t been able to find his groove in storyline. He can’t seem to win any big matches, especially on the NXT TakeOver stage, and has become frustrated throughout. This includes losing to Bobby Roode at TakeOver: Toronto and failing to become the No. 1 Contender to the NXT Championship.

Heading into San Antonio, Dillinger is going head-to-head with SAnitY, who have four members. He’s facing Eric Young, specifically, but matches with this stable always tend to result in a distraction for the opponent. This will be the case for the Perfect 10.

SAnitY is riding high in NXT, having reinvigorated the stable scene. There hadn’t been many of these in developmental for the past few years, so this Young-led group has been a welcome addition to programming. They have a great deal of momentum too with Young, Nikki Cross, and Killian Dain recently debuting and crushing everyone in his path.

This match may see Dain get involved and cost Dillinger the match. He could attack with the referee distracted and aid Young in hitting his finisher for the win. This may push SAnitY toward the main event scene and give EY a shot at the title.

For Dillinger, however, it would continue his storyline of losing in NXT. He would be overwhelmed by the numbers and may question what he could do next. From there, NXT can find a way to build to Dillinger getting a big win during the WrestleMania Weekend TakeOver event and giving him a huge second half to 2017.
