London Mayor Sadiq Khan Comments on Still Wanting a WrestleMania Event in City

As noted before, WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque and WWE President Nick Khan held a talk with London mayor Sadiq Khan in July of 2024 in London, England about the potential for a future WrestleMania event taking place in the city.

CNBC held a recent interview with Sadiq Khan. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about him still being interested in the city of London hosting a WrestleMania event in the future.

“Triple H if you’re watching, we want Wrestlemania to come to London … 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 a well.”

Khan also gave his thoughts about his belief of London being the sporting capital of the world and how hosting a WrestleMania event would help the event reach its potential.

“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.”
