ondon mayor Sadiq Khan has vowed to work to bring
WrestleMania to London if he is re-elected in next week’s
elections.
“London is already the sporting capital of the world. If I’m
re-elected next Thursday – we’ll go even further,” Khan
wrote in a message on X. “We’ll look to bring WrestleMania,
Superbowl and the NBA to London, and put together another
bid for the 2040 Olympics.”
WrestleMania in London, although far fetched, has already
been brought up by John Cena last year when he appeared
unannounced at the Money in the Bank premium live event held
at the O2 Arena in the English capital and the fans went
absolutely bonkers.
But another Khan, WWE President Nick Khan, stated last week
that all the big five PLEs will be held in the United States
and Canada moving forward, pouring cold water on the idea.
Khan, the mayor, said that he believes London has the
potential to host the first international WrestleMania and
will be setting up a Taskforce to attract more US sports if
he’s re-elected.
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H noted the tweet from Khan
and reposted it, adding, “Let’s talk.”
