Hold onto your bowler hats, folks! The wrestling world’s biggest spectacle might be hopping across the Atlantic. In 2025, Las Vegas will host WrestleMania for the second time in WWE history, but the company is eyeing something even bigger for the future – taking WrestleMania international, with London as the prime candidate.
In a blockbuster move that has fans on both sides of the pond buzzing, London Mayor Sadiq Khan met with WWE President Nick Khan and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. The high-stakes meeting aimed to discuss the tantalizing possibility of bringing WrestleMania to the UK, specifically to the iconic city of London.
Mayor Khan, always the sports enthusiast, saw this as a golden opportunity to bolster London’s reputation as a global sports hub. “London has great pedigree in hosting the biggest international sporting events from around the globe – and I’m determined to cement our city’s reputation as the undisputed sports capital of the world,” said Sadiq, radiating excitement like a kid at a candy store. “It’s exciting to be working with the WWE team. The meeting was really productive, and talks will continue about how we could turn our ambition into a reality.”
Triple H, ever the history buff, highlighted the long-standing relationship between WWE and London, reminiscing about the epic 1992 SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium. “WWE and London have a ‘long and successful history’ that dates back several decades,” he mused, no doubt picturing John Cena waving the Union Jack.
Nick Khan was equally enthusiastic but noted the need for further discussions. “Sadiq Khan and his team are working hard on positioning London as a sport and entertainment capital of Europe, and it has been great to hear more on his vision for how WWE can support them on that journey,” he said, likely already scouting out fish and chips stands near potential venues.
While nothing is set in stone just yet, the prospect of WrestleMania in London has wrestling fans and local sports enthusiasts alike crossing their fingers. Could we see a WrestleMania showdown at Wembley Stadium? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the wrestling landscape is about to get a whole lot more international.
