WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has hinted at the possibility of a WrestleMania taking place in the United Kingdom, stating that “everything is on the table” for future Premium Live Events (PLEs). This announcement comes amid growing interest among UK fans, who have long hoped for a WrestleMania of their own.
The idea of a UK-based WrestleMania gained traction after wrestling superstar John Cena publicly advocated for it during Money in the Bank 2023, a sentiment echoed by Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who said that the UK “indeed deserves a WrestleMania to call its own.” Now, Triple H’s comments add further fuel to the speculation.
During a recent appearance on X Spaces alongside Rhodes, Triple H was asked about the potential of bringing WrestleMania to London. His response indicated that WWE is open to the idea, encouraging other cities to express their interest.
“The thing about the global nature of what we do, where we are, what we’re doing. I look at the globe. I think everything is on the table for where it goes. You saw the Mayor of London the other day, put out a statement about WrestleMania. I said, ‘We should talk.’ And we should. As should the mayors or the leaders of every other place around this globe,” Levesque said.
He went on to invite cities around the world to engage with WWE if they are interested in hosting a major event. “If they want WWE, come talk to us. We’re open for business. We’d love to be there. Wherever our fans are going to be the loudest and the craziest and the most into what we do, it would be an honor.”

Triple H’s comments suggest that WWE is willing to explore global opportunities, which contrasts with previous statements made by WWE President Nick Khan. Khan had indicated that WWE’s primary PLEs would remain in North America for the foreseeable future, adding ambiguity to the company’s future plans.
Currently, the location for WrestleMania 41 has not been officially announced, with Minneapolis and Las Vegas reported as leading candidates. However, the UK’s interest in hosting a major WWE event has not waned. Apart from the potential for a UK-based WrestleMania, WWE has scheduled other major events in Europe, including Clash At The Castle: Scotland in Glasgow next month and WWE Bash At Berlin in August.
While fans in the UK and Europe eagerly await further news about a potential WrestleMania in their region, they can still look forward to a variety of WWE events that continue to build momentum across the continent. WWE’s recent forays into the UK and Europe, such as Clash at the Castle in Cardiff and various European tours, indicate a growing interest in expanding the company’s reach beyond the United States.
Triple H’s statement regarding the possibility of a UK WrestleMania has fueled excitement among fans, suggesting that WWE is actively considering major events in new locations. However, official confirmation for a UK-based WrestleMania ultimately depends on several factors, including WWE’s strategic plans, logistical considerations, and partnerships with local authorities. Hosting a WrestleMania requires significant coordination and infrastructure, but the enthusiastic response to past events in the UK suggests that the region has the capacity and audience to support such a monumental show.
While the final decision on where WrestleMania will be held remains with WWE’s leadership, the increased interest in international venues is promising for UK and European fans. In the meantime, WWE’s ongoing events in the region offer plenty of entertainment, with tours, pay-per-view events, and special shows providing a taste of what a full-scale WrestleMania in the UK might look like. As fans eagerly await further announcements, the possibility of a UK WrestleMania seems more achievable than ever, reinforcing WWE’s commitment to reaching audiences around the globe.
