As we witnessed at the 2023 Money In The Bank premium live event in London, WWE legend and Hollywood actor John Cena came out to a roaring London crowd petitioning with London fans to have a Wrestlemania in the UK, London in particular. The question does come to this, should London host Wrestlemania in the near future. The answer is simple. Of course, they should host Wrestlemania in the near future. Here are a few reasons why.

  1. The last time WWE had a Wrestlemania outside the United States was Wrestlemania X8 in 2002. Toronto, Ontario, Canada hosted that year’s Wrestlemania. It’s been over 2 decades since an international country has hosted a Wrestlemania and it’s time for a country such as London to host one.
  2. AEW is hosting All In at Wembley Stadium at the end of August. This was the PPV that made AEW the brand it is. For WWE to see the success of this AEW PPV, it can make them consider hosting a future Wrestlemania at Wembley Stadium
  3. 2023 has been a huge success internationally for WWE. WWE hosted 4 premium live events as of now in 4 countries. Those countries are Montreal, Quebec, Canada; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; and London, United Kingdom. The fans at these events were into each match and were enjoying a premium live event in their own country. The international fans are the reason I love premium live events overseas.
  4. When WWE hosts a Wrestlemania, it brings economic success and an increase in tourism wherever the event takes place. It also shows what there is in their host city and gives local entertainers and groups the support they need to shine throughout the whole weekend.

WWE board of directors, please take this into consideration. We know you are planning for Wrestlemania after next year’s in Philadelphia. You will have great success with hosting a future Wrestlemania in London. Listen to the crowds you host a live weekly taping or a premium live event. Feel their energy as you can see the excitement it will be to be part of a successful industry if you make this move.
