NXT Takeover: Toronto

NXT TakeOver: Toronto previously referred to as NXT Takeover 10 is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by WWE, featuring their third brand WWE NXT, that will take place on December 23, 2020 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This marks the first time NXT will be in both the city of Toronto and Canada. This also marks only the second time that a TakeOver has taken place outside of the United States with the first being NXT TakeOver: London.

It will be a special episode of WWE NXT and the tenth live professional wrestling event streamed online via the WWE Network.

Background
NXT TakeOver: Toronto will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines that played out on the WWE NXT television program. Wrestlers portrayed faces (heroes) or heels (villains) as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match or a series of matches.

On the December 2nd, 2020 episode of NXT, after Kay Lee Ray defeated Sonya Deville, NXT General Manager Sting would make his way out onto the stage and would proceed to announce that Kay Lee Ray would defend her NXT Women's Championship against Kris Statlander at the next NXT Takeover event on December 23rd, 2020.

A week later after a confrontation with one another, Sting would announce that Mason Wolfe would defend his NXT Championship against the man who has beaten him on two separate occasions, Nick Aldis at TakeOver inside of a Steel Cage. A few days later the official name, location and venue would be revealed for the show, TakeOver: Toronto; with it taking place for the first-time ever in Canada and would take place at the Scotiabank Arena, home of both the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA's Toronto Raptors. Around that same time it was revealed that RLNT's "Rise" was the official theme song for NXT TakeOver: Toronto.
