WWE’s Triple H & Nick Khan Met with London Mayor for Talks to Bring Future WrestleMania Event to London

Several United Kingdom based news outlets including the Daily Star and Daily Mail reported that WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque and WWE President Nick Khan met with London mayor Sadiq Khan on Thursday in London, England.

Daily Star reported that this meeting revolved around talks between the two sides about WWE holding a potential WrestleMania event in the city in the future.

In an interview with the outlet, Khan confirmed he had a meeting with Levesque and Khan to discuss the possibility of a future WrestleMania event in London.

“I am delighted to have met with WWE Hall of Famer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque and WWE President Nick Khan today to discuss how we can work to make London WrestleMania’s first international destination.

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, as we work together for a better London for everyone. 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.”

Levesque and Khan responded stating:

Nick Khan – “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. WrestleMania has delivered more than $1.25 billion in economic impact for its host cities, with this year’s event in Philadelphia attracting over 145,000 fans from 64 countries. There is a lot that needs to be discussed further but we share the ambition of Mayor Khan in trying to bring a stand-out WWE Premium Live event to London.”

Paul Levesque – “WWE and London have a long and successful history dating back many decades, and meeting with Sadiq Khan to discuss what the future of this partnership could bring has been excellent. This year alone WWE has taken record-breaking events around the world to Australia, France, Scotland, Saudi Arabia and Canada – the appetite from the fans is there, and the excitement from the Mayor and his team in London is palpable.”

WWE previously teased the idea of a potential future WrestleMania taking place in London during their Money in the Bank 2023 event that was held in the city. During the show, John Cena made a surprise appearance and gave a speech to the live crowd talking about him wanting to help bring a future WrestleMania event to the city.
