Eric Bischoff Weighs in on the Possibility of a London-Based WrestleMania

Eric Bischoff, a seasoned wrestling commentator, and former WWE executive, recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of WWE hosting a WrestleMania event in London. The speculation was sparked by John Cena’s surprise appearance at the Money in the Bank event, where he delivered a passionate promo about the UK fans deserving a WrestleMania event.

Bischoff couldn’t help but smile at Cena’s words, noting that the crowd’s response was electric. He pondered whether WWE was teasing the idea of a London WrestleMania to prove they could outdraw their competitors at Wembley Stadium. Given the enthusiastic response from the crowd, Bischoff believes WWE could indeed “crush” with a WrestleMania event in the UK.

The wrestling veteran went on to speculate that if he were to place a bet, he’d wager that a London WrestleMania could happen within the next five years. With the next WrestleMania location already announced as Philadelphia, it would be two years before a UK event could take place.

Bischoff also touched on the changing landscape of pay-per-view events, suggesting that the traditional Sunday night slot is no longer mandatory. He enjoyed the recent Saturday afternoon pay-per-view event and sees potential for more of these in the future.

The idea of a London WrestleMania excites Bischoff and cements WWE’s status as a global brand. With competitor AEW on track to sell 70,000 tickets for their event, WWE must be considering what they could achieve with a major event like WrestleMania in London.
