As part of WWE's annual SummerSlam weekend in Toronto, the NXT brand staged its second TakeOver event at Scotiabank Arena, continuing a tradition of pairing NXT specials with major WWE pay-per-view weekends to showcase developmental talent on a larger platform.
NXT TakeOver: Toronto 2019 took place on August 10, 2019, featuring seven matches. The main event saw Adam Cole defeat Johnny Gargano in a two-out-of-three-falls match to retain the NXT Championship. Shayna Baszler, Velveteen Dream, and the Street Profits also successfully defended their respective titles on the undercard.
Cole's victory solidified his reign as NXT Champion, while two matches were taped for the following week's NXT television episode. The event concluded the TakeOver: Toronto series, with no further events under that name held afterward.
