Last Saturday WWE organized Money in the Bank in London where John Cena dropped a Bombshell that WWE might bring WrestleMania to London. When he mentioned it, it only sounded like a pitch but there are actually plans surrounding this. UK had been extremely friendly to the WWE shows that took place recently, organizing their biggest event in London would be huge.
Every recent UK based shows of WWE were a massive hit. Organizing WrestleMania would be nothing less than a dream come true. WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff thinks that it would be pretty challenging to organize the event in London. On the latest episode of his Strictly Business podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said;
A Legendary Perspective Why Wrestling Icon Believes WWE WrestleMania in London is Challenging
“I certainly could see it happening, I can’t imagine what the staff, the team over at WWE are thinking in terms of having to produce a WrestleMania overseas. The logistics are tough. You have all the travel involved, you’re working with a lot of vendors you’ve never worked with before. When it happens, it’s going to be a big challenge and of course you have the obvious one right, you want to be in prime time.
“You want to make sure that the live event is available to the largest sector of your audience, which is the domestic U.S, so they can watch it live and not have to stay up until 2 o’clock in the morning in order to do it. That’s the biggest issue, and again the costs. Everything is more expensive when you do it overseas, the logistics side of that… I wouldn’t want to be on that team, let’s put it that way.
John Cena Pitched WrestleMania London
“I’d go to WrestleMania and I’d be backstage, and they would ask me to do something on camera. But, if you’re backstage the day before or two days before WrestleMania and you look at the eyes of the people that are there to work, whether it’s the production team or the logistics, by the second day they’re like the walking dead.
“So adding the stress of doing it internationally on top of that, mind boggling to me. But again, there are some seasoned vets there. They’ve been doing it in Saudi Arabia, but it’s not as big in scope as WrestleMania. That’s a different animal.” The WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff explained.
There is still no confirmation on which year WWE wood make this massive plan to bring their biggest show to London, but as long as John Cena announced publicly, it is definitely happening at some point. The London crowd had been amazing throughout Money in the Bank, and having the Grandest Stage of them all getting organized in London would not only be massive, but it would also be iconic.
