Follow along with the live spoilers for the WWE NXT Taping at TakeOver: San Antonio.
On Saturday night, NXT TakeOver: San Antonio will take place. This is WWE NXT’s first live special of 2017 after capping off 2017 with a show in Toronto, Canada. Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka, Bobby Roode, and Tye Dillinger will be among the Superstars in action.
However, before TakeOver: San Antonio went live on the WWE Network at the Freeman Coliseum, a special NXT taping would take place. Matches that were recorded will air on the Wednesday, February 1 episode, before developmental heads back to Florida.
Here’s a look at everything that happened during the pre-TakeOver recording:
- WWE United Kingdom star Wolfgang vs. Aaron Solow would be the dark match.
- Ember Moon defeated Aliyah in the opening match.
- WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate defeated Oney Lorcan. This is Bate’s first WWE appearance since winning the UK Tournament earlier this month.
- No Way Jose defeated Elias Samson to close the taping.
Moon isn’t going to wrestle at NXT TakeOver: San Antonio, so it makes sense that she would appear beforehand. She’s also a native of Texas, making this a homecoming of sorts for the rising NXT star.
Bate getting an opportunity to be on NXT gives us a glimpse at what he and other UK-signed stars may be doing for WWE going forward. Maybe this eventually results in a TakeOver match instead of a taped bout.
No Way Jose vs. Elias Samson is a match that builds off what they did on the recent episodes of WWE NXT. Jose getting the win sends the crowd happy into the TakeOver: San Antonio live special.
