London, UK

WWE WrestleMania is a sports and entertainment extravaganza - perhaps the mightiest and one of the most followed two-day events in the United States and across the world. However, the 'Showcase of the Immortals' is going abroad for the first time, per the latest reports.

With Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, France, and Australia having had the chance to host a PLE lately, a breakthrough for WrestleMania was always on the cards.

WrestleMania's mania grows

Meanwhile, Sadiq only vowed to bring more global sports spectacles to London since announcing his intentions earlier this year. Impressed with the idea and intrigued by the media reports, Triple H and Nick Khan met Sadiq at the City Hall on Friday, planning to land the ‘Show of Shows’ in London. However, should everyone involved agree with the plan, it would be a monumental win for him.

"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,” Sadiq Khan said. 

Although the stakeholders will work on the dates and logistics, a WrestleMania in London will further expand its chances of finding a new home in different countries.

Endorsing this idea of WrestleMania happening in London, Nick Khan said,

"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."
