London’s WrestleMania hopes just hit a reality check — because despite years of speculation and public campaigning, there are currently no active negotiations to bring WWE’s biggest event to the city in 2028.
According to POST Wrestling, the office of the Mayor of London confirmed that there are currently no specific negotiations taking place to bring WrestleMania to the city in 2028.
The clarification came after years of rumors and fan speculation linking London to a potential future WrestleMania, especially after John Cena publicly pushed the idea during a WWE appearance in London back in 2023. Tom Degun from the Economic Desk at the Mayor of London’s Press Office addressed the speculation directly in a statement sent to POST Wrestling.
“There are general discussions with WWE, but at present no specific discussions around bringing the 2028 WrestleMania to London.”
Even with that clarification, London officials made it clear the city still has major interest in eventually hosting WWE’s biggest event. According to POST Wrestling, Degun also stated that Khan remains committed to bringing larger WWE events to London in the future.
“Mayor Sadiq Khan is determined to bring even more sports from around the world to London, including the biggest WWE events, and continues to discuss future opportunities.”
Khan heavily pushed the idea during his 2024 reelection campaign and even met with Triple H and WWE CEO Nick Khan to discuss the possibility of bringing WWE’s biggest annual show overseas. At the same time, Triple H himself has previously admitted the idea would be difficult logistically while also making it clear WWE is not opposed to eventually attempting it.
For now though, WrestleMania’s upcoming schedule remains heavily tied to the United States. Las Vegas hosted WrestleMania 41 and 42, and Indianapolis is already locked in for a future WrestleMania as part of WWE’s deal with Indiana Sports Corp.
So while London clearly remains interested in landing WrestleMania someday, the latest update makes it clear fans should not expect a formal 2028 announcement anytime soon.
