From there, we review NXT from January 25, 2017, the go-home show for Takeover: San Antonio. Ember Moon and Liv Morgan went to battle, with each looking to gain momentum. No Way Jose battled Kona Reeves while Eric Young made a statement to Tye Dillinger in his match with Chris Atkins. NXT concluded with Peyton Royce, Billie Kaye, Nikki Cross and Asuka all facing off in the ring. Things broke down quickly. Who was left standing after the dust settled? We let you know on Episode 161.
From there, Dave is joined by Rick Lachney of the newly launched 2 Man Band Podcast, as they preview NXT Takeover: San Antonio. Will Tye Dillinger finally break through against Eric Young? Can Roderick Strong beat back the challenge of Andrade “Cien” Almas? Can DIY derail the freight train that is the Authors of Pain and retain their NXT Tag Team Titles? With the odds stacked against her, can Asuka remain undefeated and retain her NXT Women’s Championship? And, in the Main Event, would San Antonio be glorious for Bobby Roode or would Shinsuke Nakamura prevail and remain the NXT Champion? Dave and Rick let you know their thoughts on Episode 161.
