As first reported by Entertainment Tonight Canada, Toronto will host SummerSlam Week in August 2019 with SummerSlam (Sunday, Aug. 11), Monday Night Raw (Monday, Aug. 12), SmackDown LIVE (Tuesday, Aug. 13) and NXT TakeOver (Saturday, Aug. 10) taking place at Scotiabank Arena over four consecutive nights.

SummerSlam is more than just a one-day event; it’s a week-long celebration, as WWE will host a series of activities including SummerSlam Axxess, WWE’s interactive fan festival at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, along with community outreach programs designed to leave a lasting impact throughout the region.

“We are thrilled to bring WWE’s Biggest Event of the Summer back to Toronto,” said John Saboor, WWE Executive Vice President, Special Events. “We look forward to working with our partners at Tourism Toronto and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to build a blueprint that welcomes our global fan base to the great city of Toronto.”

Additional details, including ticket availability and travel packages, will be announced in the near future.

Survivor Series was in Toronto just two years ago.

Survivor Series 2016 in Toronto. Featuring Goldberg vs. Lesnar. Seems only Toronto gets PPV's now. The rest of Canada is shut out.

[Doctor No]

Why is Summerslam happening so early next yr? Another SuperShow happening?

[Urethra Franklin]

I’ll for sure go to Takeover and maybe SS itself, but I’m actually more excited about the potential of some kind of crazy Joey Janela card that weekend.

I am so down for a takeover and SummerSlam. Summerslam is my bros birthday party though, so I dunno if I could swing it 😔

OP needs to be updated to include that Wednesday, August 14 is my birthday.

[BatPunk]

Well, I may have to hit my old stomping ground and watch the NXT show. (There’s no way I could sit through 6 hours of the Main rosters)

I'm expecting bizarro-world with all the results, cheers, jeers, and pops that week...can't wait to see how the announcers try to spin it.

I'd be really tempted to make the trip over from Montreal if a) it weren't the weekend right after a big anime con I go ham at money-wise 2) I saw myself caring enough about WWE to sink that kind of money into a trip. It's cool they're seeing at least some part of Canada as PPV-worthy again.

Which is a shame because Montreal is always one of their best crowds, so a PPV there would be a blast.

Tickets to SummerSlam are available for purchase now, according to an email I got.

Considering the product WWE is having right now, I'd not be surprised if we get "Bizarro World" comments during the show from the commentary crew as a defensive measure.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Summer isn't just encouraged in Canada, it's allowed.

[schma]

I'd be tempted but given how much my Smackdown tickets were in Toronto last year, I don't know that I can justify the cost of a big 4 PPV.

[Shy Guy]

alright, wtf. i googled to see what tickets would show up, and they want $1900 for seats in the 100's for summerslam? is anyone else seeing this??

[Rumble McSkirmish]

I think it's only the Travel Packages/Advanced tickets that are on sale now because I can't seem to find any listings for individual event tickets for Summerslam or the other events on either The WWE or Ticketmaster site.
