I'm going to be there next month for a few days to see the Royal Rumble, but I wanted to know what were the things to see in San Antonio. I know about the Alamo, but not much else. Any recommendations?

River Walk is a good tourist spot; lots of bars, restaurants and shopping. There's a horse driven tour of downtown that's not terribly expensive that might give you some other ideas.
Someone else might provide other recommendations for food but two of my local favorites are The Cove and Mi Tierra. Both worth checking out.
Another activity is a bike tour of the other missions besides the Alamo that's pretty cool and the weather shouldn't be too bad around that time.
If you like sports of course there's the Spurs and we have a minor league hockey team called the Rampage that have pretty fun games.
That's some stuff just off the top of my head. Hope you have fun here! I love San Antonio.

Maybe check out the zoo. If I recall, one of the biggest in the country, I enjoyed my visit to it.

Too bad it's not high school football season. Go for the football game, stay for the marching bands. Wow.

When I went years ago I enjoyed my visit to SeaWorld but, that was before all the controversy.

The Missions are fun if you are a fan of old churchy Spanish stuff. They got added as a UNSECO sight a few years ago.
And as a food recomendation, if you are close to Callahahn and Fredricksburg roads, get some lamb ribs at the Old Smokehouse. You won't regret it.

The wax museum and the Ripley's place downtown are pretty fun
