The 2019 SummerSlam was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by the American promotion WWE, held for wrestlers from the promotion's main roster brands, Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live. It was the 32nd annual SummerSlam and took place on August 11, 2019, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This was the second SummerSlam held at this venue, after the 2004 event when it was known as the Air Canada Centre, and the first held outside of Brooklyn, New York, United States since 2014. Twelve matches were contested at the event, including three on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar to win Raw's Universal Championship for a second time. In the penultimate match, which was an interpromotional match, Raw's Bray Wyatt debuted his new "Fiend" persona and defeated SmackDown's Finn Bálor. In other prominent matches, SmackDown's Charlotte Flair defeated WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus by submission, Kevin Owens defeated Shane McMahon to keep his job on SmackDown, SmackDown's WWE Champion Kofi Kingston fought Randy Orton to a double countout, thus Kingston retained the title, and free agent Goldberg defeated SmackDown's Dolph Ziggler.
