John Cena Comments on Wanting WWE To Hold Future WrestleMania In London

As noted before, WWE’s Money in the Bank 2023 event in July of 2023 in London, England featured John Cena making a surprise appearance and gave a speech advocating for WWE to hold a future WrestleMania event in London.

A recent episode of the Off The Menu podcast featured Cena as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cena’s thoughts about the potential of WWE holding a WrestleMania event in London in the future.

“I’m still an advocate to try and bring WrestleMania to London. I think London has earned the right to have the event. I am very excited about this year’s WrestleMania because it is the first WrestleMania outside of North America. It’s like proof of concept that it can be done. I am still a strong advocate that this crowd, this city, has earned the right to WrestleMania. What little stroke I have, I try to rile up the crowd a few times to say London has earned WrestleMania, and it did get people talking. I don’t know where those talks are at, but hopefully, maybe I can return to the O2 and stake that claim again.”

Cena also gave his thoughts about if anyone in WWE knew he would advocate for WrestleMania in London at the Money in the Bank 2023 event.

“That was just me putting it out there. Honestly, it’s just my perspective. I look around and see the energy, passion, and enthusiasm. What a great city for people to come to. WrestleMania is such a travel to event. It’s one of my favorite cities in the world. I think it’d be a nice piece of culture for people to explore and experience WrestleMania. We need to do WrestleMania here.”
