    Wrestlemania London, will it happen ???

    Demanad is very much dear and tickets would sell like hot cakes for all events. The atmosphere around the UK cities when big events are on is amazing. Ticket sales for MITB/CATC and live events across the UK have been very impressive post Pandemic., then look at the very impressive ticket sales for AEW in Wembley (which is maybe part of WWEs thinking parituvaly in that venue). WWE breaking AEWs record would be pure glourouis pettiness

    London has hosted major sporting tournments/concerts/Olympics among other things so the infrastruture is there across the city

    Sponsorship, TV coverage etc wont be a problem

    A few issues that could arise 

    Would WWE want to sacrifice prime time In the US for such a huge event ? 

    logistical costs possibly a lot higher 

    UK weather is so unreaible 

    Peak Football/Rugby season around Mania time 

    personally speaking id go over in a heartbeat but think maybe out of the Big 4 A Summerslam or Survivor Series might get the UK treatment before a Mania or Rumble. MITB was amazing and how cool would an annual UK MITB event be (Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Glasgow could be future hosts etc)

    Apparently it was in the most lucrative MITB event ever. Merch sales were supposedly right up there with the highest ever sales at any WWE event in history.

    That'll certainly do its chances no harm.

    I’d be more interested to see would all the other companies that run shows around WM week come over to London to run shows.

    2026 is earliest free date apparently as they're already in end game negotiations about 2025.

    I think there's no smoke without fire and Cena wouldn't be tossed out in front of the baying crowds to mention Mania in London if something wasn't in the pipeline. Triple H seeming to pour cold water on it then given it would be 2026 at earliest makes sense as it gives them almost 3 years to plan the logistics.

    The Tennessee Titans new stadium is expected to open in 2027 and apparently there's already an agreement in place for Nashville to host Wrestlemania then, so that's another year we can cross off our calendars.

    Then again, it's WWE so they could have done it all for a few cheap pops haha

    It will happen. The question is when. Could be WM in 10 years for all we know.

    But it also opens up more possibilities. Saudi mania would seem a likely candidate after.

    I do not think it will happen

    WM is WWE's Superbowl, it has to be in the US

    They may run more PPVs from the UK but not WM imho but who knows I could be very wrong

    I’m not sure it could happen at Wembley with the Khans connections to that stadium.

    Would the Spurs stadium get the capacity they would want to say they broke records.

    Doesn't look like it will be 41 anyway

    Cracking stadium, nice town, reasonably priced and easy to get to Chicago/Boston/NYC if you wanted to make a holiday of it.

    Lack of pyro could be an issue.

    In the same week that I get the flights & hotel for WM41 in Vegas next year they announce this 😠😆 . Ah sure go on a quick trip to London wouldn’t hurt anyone

    Wonder will it be 42 or 43 or maybe Summerslam as a consolation ( ?

    so your saying…it might happen?!!!!! 😛

    I wonder about the time difference though.. i just couldnt see them bringing their SuperBowl event over to the UK and for it to be broadcast at around 2pm over the the States..

    the fact theyre meeting the mayor is fantastic tho!!

    Imo I can see them not sacrificing Mania at that timeslot as you mentioned but maybe gett a 2 night summerslam in Wembley or Spurs Stadium as a consolation

    The pic with the Mayor is funny. You'd think they'd bring a bigger title

    I can't see why Trippers and Khan would be involved in such a promo if it wasn't a dead certainity.

    Would offer you small odds on Mania 43 being in London.

    41- Vegas

    42- Indiana

    43- London

    When are Indiana getting there first 'big 4' event in the deal ??

    Not that Trips and co give a **** but pettiness could be beating AEWs Wembley adventures

    42 won't be Indy, they're getting a 2 night SummerSlam that year. Minnesota is supposed to be getting one soon, wouldn't be surprised to see Texas get another one soon as well.

    I'd be very surprised if a Labour government was really prepared to pay the money WWE would want to bring it to the UK.

    Wrestlemania in Wembley Stadium

    SD/HOF, NXT and Raw in Wembley Arena

    Megastore etc in the convention place in Hammersmith

    Or could do

    Wrestlemania in London Stadium

    SD/HOF, NXT and Raw in The O2

    Megastore etc in the Copper Box Arena

    Keeping it in around the same area

    Spurs Stadium and Twickenham other possibilities

    Except the Saudies will pay 10x those merc profits + bonuses for every star to get the first non US Wrestlemania as part of their attempt to make Dubai relevant; sorry but London is not happening any time soon and thinking merc sales will somehow outweigh the Saudi money is fantasy land.

    I was thinking WWE may feel there's no need to bring mania to London. There's surely a list of US city's lining up to pay just as much as London.

    If they give the UK a big PLE they still get that ludicrous merch haul you always hear about.

    If the Scottish ticket prices are anything to go by London Wrestlemania tickets will be crazy expensive it would probably be cheaper to go to a Wrestlemania in the States. I’m guess a starting price of £500.

    Regards,

    P.

    My bank account is crying and that's only for Vegas

    They know they will sell out in London so can change what they like
