WWE's Triple H & Nick Khan Hold Talks With Sadiq Khan About WrestleMania In London

WWE WrestleMania in London looks more likely than ever!

WWE President Nick Khan and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque met with London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Thursday in the UK capital to discuss bringing WrestleMania to London. Talks were productive, according to Sadiq Khan, and the two sides plan to hold further talks to make WrestleMania in London a reality.

"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," Sadiq Khan stated.

WWE President Nick Khan added: "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."

Triple H also said: "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."

The meeting comes after Sadiq Khan pledged during his re-election campaign to establish a taskforce to explore bringing more American sports, including WrestleMania, to London. This led to a quick response from Triple H, who wrote, "Let's talk." Khan was subsequently re-elected in May.

WWE WrestleMania has never taken place outside of North America in the event's 39-year history. WWE have held major pay-per-views in the United Kingdom before, though, including SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium. The company has run three 'premium live events' in the UK in as many years since 2022 with Clash at the Castle in Cardiff and Glasgow, and Money in the Bank at The O2 in London.
