The NXT TakeOver series of professional wrestling shows started on May 29, 2014, as the IWE developmental league NXT held their second IWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used for all of their NXT live specials. NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first TakeOver show held outside of Full Sail University. NXT TakeOver: San Antonio will be the thirteenth show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the first of 2017.
On the December 14, 2016 episode of NXT, Bobby Roode defeated Oney Lorcan to qualify for a no. 1 contender’s fatal 4-way match along with Tye Dillinger, Andrade 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.
