NXT TakeOver: San Antonio
NXT TakeOver: San Antonio was the 13th NXT TakeOver professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network and took place on January 28, 2017, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas. It was held as part of that year's Royal Rumble weekend, thus being the first NXT TakeOver to be held in January.
Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to win the NXT Championship. In other prominent matches, The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) defeated DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) to win the NXT Tag Team Championship, and Asuka defeated Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, and Nikki Cross in a fatal four-way match to retain the NXT Women's Championship.
TakeOver was a series of professional wrestling events that began in May 2014, as WWE's then-developmental league NXT held its second WWE Network-exclusive event, billed as TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of its major NXT events. Announced on November 28, 2016, TakeOver: San Antonio was scheduled as the 13th NXT TakeOver event and was held on January 28, 2017, as a support show for that year's Royal Rumble pay-per-view, which in turn made it the first NXT TakeOver held in January. It was held at the Freeman Coliseum and was named after the venue's city of San Antonio, Texas. Tickets went on sale on December 2.
The event comprised five matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT.
On the December 14, 2016, episode of NXT, Bobby Roode defeated Oney Lorcan to qualify for a #1 contender's fatal four-way match along with Tye Dillinger, Andrade Cien Almas, and Roderick Strong. The following week, Roode defeated Dillinger, Almas, and Strong to earn a match for the NXT Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at TakeOver: San Antonio.
At TakeOver: Toronto on November 19, 2016, DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) defeated The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) in a two out of three falls match to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. Also on that night, The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) defeated TM-61 (Shane Thorne and Nick Miller) to win Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. A title match between the two teams was scheduled for TakeOver: San Antonio.
On the January 11 episode of NXT, it was shown that Billie Kay and Peyton Royce had attacked Asuka earlier in the day. After Kay and Royce defeated Sarah Bridges and Macey Evans, Asuka came down and attacked both. However, both Kay and Royce overpowered Asuka. Nikki Cross then seemingly came to Asuka's aid, however, she attacked Asuka after running Kay and Royce off. The following week, a fatal four-way match for the NXT Women's Championship between the four women was scheduled for TakeOver: San Antonio.
It was announced via WWE's official website on January 25, 2017, the pre-show panel would consist of Charly Caruso, Raw announcer Corey Graves and the recent United Kingdom Championship Tournament commentator Nigel McGuinness. Graves announced on the Pre-Show that this would be his last TakeOver show as an NXT color commentator before he officially set his role as Raw color commentator. They also hosted the 2016 NXT Year-End Awards.
