Reason Why WWE Isn’t Planning a PLE at Wembley Stadium

WWE fans hoping for a major Premium Live Event at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium may have to keep waiting.

While London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been vocal about wanting to bring a WWE stadium show to the capital—meeting with both Triple H and WWE CEO Nick Khan in 2024—new backstage info reveals why nothing has materialized yet: Wembley is off the table.

During a January 26, 2026 Q&A session, WrestleVotes shot down the idea of WWE heading to Wembley anytime soon, citing financial reasons and AEW’s current presence there.

“So Wembley is AEW-focused, and not because they don’t want WWE — they don’t want to pay for WWE. That’s where it is right now. It’s just not in the cards; it’s All Elite territory at the moment.”

TC followed up by clarifying that WWE isn’t in the business of giving away stadium spectacles without financial backing from host cities, so London will have to pony up the cash.

“It does come down to money. WWE wants these big cities to pay up in order to get the big attraction — something they can promote as part of their tourism department. If London feels like they want to have a big event like WWE come to town, they have to pony up, and WWE is not going to shy away from that.”

Even though Triple H previously said international stadium shows like this are logistically tough, he also made it clear WWE is ready if the opportunity makes sense. The message here? London wants it—but doesn’t want to pay for it.

So for now, Wembley stays firmly in AEW’s corner. Until London opens its checkbook, WWE’s big stadium shows are heading elsewhere.
