In an update on WWE’s WrestleMania Premium Live Event coming to London in the future, a press release was issued today noting that Paul Levesque, Nick Khan and London Mayor Sadiq Khan held a meeting to discuss how Sadiq Khan’s initial ambition could be close to becoming a reality.

Speaking on the meeting and the possibility of London hosting a future WrestleMania, Sadiq Khan stated, “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.”

WWE President Nick Khan also commented on the meeting stating, “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.”

Paul “Triple H” Levesque also added his comments on the meeting stating “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.”
