London Mayor Sadiq Khan believes his city could help bring WrestleMania to new heights.
Bringing WrestleMania to London is a goal that Khan remains committed to. Whether that will happen at any point in the near future remains to be seen, but the London mayor met with WWE executives Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Nick Khan last summer to discuss the possibility. This week, he again called on WWE to have London host WrestleMania.
“I’d love for WrestleMania to come to London,” Khan told CNBC while speaking at the SXSW London 2025 conference. “Triple H if you’re watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London.”
As of now, WrestleMania has never been held outside of North America. Bringing the event overseas would present logistical challenges, but Levesque has said WWE is open to making it work.
Sadiq Khan told CNBC that he believes a huge international city like London could help WWE expand WrestleMania into something even bigger than it already is.
“If WrestleMania came to London, my message to the team there is that we wouldn’t just have a great weekend, we’d have a festival, of you know, legends in WrestleMania coming to London, current stars, but also future stars as well,” he said. “It will open a completely new market for them as well.
“I think the potential has not been reached in terms of WrestleMania. We are the sporting capital in my view, of the world. And if WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London.”
While a deal for London to host WrestleMania has not been made at this point, WWE is close to finalizing Las Vegas as the location for WrestleMania 42 in 2026. It will be the second straight year Vegas has hosted WrestleMania.
Indianapolis and New Orleans are confirmed as future WrestleMania host cities but do not have dates attached yet. New Orleans was originally supposed to host WrestleMania 42 before WWE made the decision to move the show to Vegas.
