Now that Los Angeles has two teams and Vegas possibly getting the Raiders, which city will an owner use to hold their current one hostage to build a new stadium?

Toronto or Europe
San Antonio will never be used as leverage. The Cowboys and Texans wil never even allow the possibility.
London will never be taken seriously. Toronto is a pipe dream for consideration of the NFL.
I think the League is happy if the Raiders go to Vegas. All major markets and areas will be covered.
At this point, a team will be threatening to move to Oklahoma or Mississippi.
But what teams, besides the Raiders are a threat for relocation? The Jaguars? Anyone else?
Mississippi really?
It's unlikely you'll ever see the Saints move unless the city just dries up and dies.
We actually cover a pretty large geographic market with LA, MS, parts of AL, and parts of FL. We aren't the Jaguars, who's market extends about as far as their city limits.
The NFL isn't interested in moving teams to markets that don't add value. San Antonio adds no value to the league. It's already saturated with Dallas fans.
There also aren't any big markets left without teams now that LA and Vegas have been covered. The NFL isn't going to push for a team in St. Louis the way they did for LA. Foreign teams, as much as it's Goodell's wet dream, just aren't feasible most likely.
It all depends on who takes over the team after Tom Benson, but our stadium situation is a can of worms waiting to be opened.
The wrong owner(s) will want a new billion dollar palace, and there are few options for doing so even if the city/state had the necessary funds.
