The mayor of London Sadiq Khan has held talks with WWE’s Chief Content Office Triple H and WWE President Nick Khan over bringing WrestleMania to the UK.

Prior to Khan’s re-election in May, he spoke about his desire to bring WrestleMania to the UK for the first time and moved closer to turning that dream into a reality after sitting down at City Hall with Triple H and Khan yesterday afternoon.

“I’m really excited to have begun conversations about bringing international WrestleMania to London,” Khan told the PA news agency. I know there are many fans in London and across the UK and Europe who are desperate to see WrestleMania live.”

In a post on X, the mayor later added that the meeting between the two parties was “really productive” and that talks will continue with WWE about how to turn “our ambition into a reality”.

Over the past number of years, WWE has made a concerted effort to increase its global appeal and have begun staging numerous premium live events throughout Europe. Cardiff and Glasgow both played host to Clash at the Castle in 2022 and 2024, Money in the Bank was held at O2 Arena in 2023, France hosted Backlash this year and WWE will also hold an event in Germany in August.

WrestleMania has yet to be held outside of North America, so what makes London the ideal choice for Triple H?

Some of our greatest and best fans are here in London. I’ve been coming here for 30 years. They’re always incredible,” he told PA.

“We have a massive following here but I think it also opens up to a lot of the rest of the world given how many people travel in every single year for events we do all over the globe.

“This is just an opportunity for being in a different location, amazing fans but where the rest of the globe could possibly get your easier. So WWE is one of the true global brands and I think you should look forward to seeing us all over the world.”
