Two of the stipulations have been revealed for Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano’s two-out-of-three falls match at NXT TakeOver: Toronto.
Cole is defending his NXT Championship against Gargano at the SummerSlam weekend special. In storyline, Gargano is picking the stipulation for one of the falls, Cole is picking the stipulation for the other, and NXT general manager William Regal will choose the stipulation if they go to a third fall.
Promos from Gargano and Cole aired on this week’s episode of NXT television. Gargano announced that he’s picking a street fight for his stipulation, and Cole chose a normal one-on-one wrestling match for his stipulation.

Cole said Gargano won’t be able to call himself “Johnny Wrestling” after Toronto.
Regal’s stipulation has yet to be announced.
TakeOver: Toronto is taking place at the Scotiabank Arena on Saturday, August 10.
