6 Things That Must Happen At NXT TakeOver: San Antonio

5. If It Ain't Broke, Don't Break It

Tye Dillinger Eric Young TakeOver

Tye Dillinger takes on Eric Young in San Antonio, with The Perfect 10 looking to improve on what is currently the worst record in NXT TakeOver history. Dillinger is 0-3 at NXT special shows (0-4 if we're including dark matches), piling up losses against Apollo Crews, Almas and Bobby Roode. Somehow, he has become one of the most popular performers on the entire roster, and has taken sole possession of an actual number.

Dillinger has to start winning eventually, right? His opponent in San Antonio is Eric Young, leader of SAnitY and the latest in the long line of maniacal faction leaders that aren't actually that threatening. If this match were happening six months down the line a Dillinger would be guarantees. But it isn't, and he isn't.

Eric Young needs to be established in some form or another, and Tye Dillinger seems to be popular whether or not he wins. Heck, he seems to get more popular every time he loses. NXT's babyface roster needs a major revamp, and whilst The Perfect 10 may be the top good guy going forward, sacrificing Young along the way would be madness.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
