Highlights
- Grayson Waller opposes UK WrestleMania, citing preference for "proper places" for wrestlers to appear.
- Speculation grows as Sadiq Khan expresses interest in hosting WrestleMania in London.
- Conflicting reports from Triple H and Nick Khan leave uncertainty around possibility of an international WrestleMania.
While there's plenty of speculation about where WWE WrestleMania will be taking place next year, the idea of it happening in the United Kingdom at some stage in the future has been a major talking point lately. It might be an exciting idea for a lot of people, but not Grayson Waller.
Grayson Waller Isn't Interested In A UK WrestleMania
The current WWE Tag Team Champion has been a name on the rise in WWE ever since making the move to the main roster. He and Austin Theory were successful on the Grandest Stage Of Them All this year, but when it comes to future appearances at WWE WrestleMania, he doesn't want it happening in the UK.
WWE Shoots Down Rumors Regarding The Rock's Unprofessionalism at WrestleMania 40
Rumors that The Rock was constantly late on movie sets and for WrestleMania 40 have been refuted. So has a really gross story about his conduct.WWE has been putting together more international premium live events lately, with the upcoming WWE Backlash event being an example of that. Shows happening internationally have been well received with WWE selling a lot of tickets, and that buzz is something that could lead to the company considering moving its biggest show of the year overseas.
While the likes of Drew McIntyre and John Cena like the idea of that happening, Waller has made it clear to BodySlam.net that he doesn't want that to happen.
"Yeah, I think I've made my thoughts very clear about what I think about England, and especially as an Australian, I guess being Irish is kind of similar. Like, I'm not a fan, and I think that guy was just doing everything he can to get re-elected. You know, that's a pretty cool thing. Hey, I'm going to bring WrestleMania to London, but I think he's very similar to John Cena. Sometimes they just say things. We're not going there. We're going to proper places where the wrestlers actually want to be." (H/T Fightful)
Could WrestleMania Be Coming To The UK?
Whether Waller wants WWE WrestleMania to happen in the UK or not, it has been a big talking point lately in the industry. Sadiq Khan made it clear that if he was re-elected as the Mayor of London then he would make a push to bring the event to England's capital city. While it remains to be seen if he won, he seemed to put the idea in people's minds.
Triple H himself responded to Khan and made it clear he wanted to talk, which only increased the speculation about the situation. Last year the company put WWE's Money in the Bank on in London, which featured a surprise appearance from Cena who vowed that he'd work hard to bring WWE WrestleMania to the country.
While there's lots of people pushing to make it happen, Nick Khan has previously claimed that none of the major PLEs, including WWE WrestleMania, will be happening internationally. With differing messages taking place right now, it remains to be seen what will happen next.
