The promotion, owned by Shahid and Tony Khan, has made Toronto a regular stop on its treks into Canada in recent years. In 2024, Canadians Adam (Cope) Copeland and Christian Cage squared off in a memorable match at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto. In 2023, Scotiabank Arena hosted Forbidden Door, one of the promotion's most successful events in its brief history.
