Triple H believes the capital has the sporting pedigree needed to pin down a future WWE showcase event

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has met London mayor Sadiq Khan to discuss the possibility of Wrestlemania being hosted in the capital.

Khan met The Game who, since retiring from wrestling in 2019, has become World Wrestling Entertainment’s chief content officer. The pair discussed their shared ambition of bringing WrestleMania to the capital.

The mayor pledged in April to bring together a taskforce to explore bringing even more sports from North America and around the world to London. Trips saw the story and let the mayor know he was ready to talk. 

“WWE and London have a long and successful history dating back many decades,” said the 14-time world champion. “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.”

Khan said: “I am delighted to have met with WWE Hall of Famer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque and WWE president Nick Khan yesterday 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.”
