London has been the name on every wrestling fan’s lips whenever WrestleMania location rumors start flying. But if you were already booking flights to Wembley, slow down.
Tom Degun from the Economic Desk at the Mayor of London’s Press Office spoke directly to POST Wrestling and made it clear — there are general conversations happening with WWE, but nothing specific around bringing WrestleMania 2028 to London is on the table right now.
That’s a meaningful distinction. General talks with a company the size of WWE could mean almost anything. Sponsorships, live events, tourism partnerships — none of that is WrestleMania. The Mayor’s office is essentially confirming that a relationship exists without confirming anything close to a landmark deal.
WrestleMania going to London would genuinely be a massive moment. The UK fanbase is one of WWE’s loudest and most passionate anywhere in the world. Anyone who watched a UK-based WWE event in the last decade knows the crowd energy there is different. Wembley Stadium holds over 90,000 people and WWE already knows what that building feels like after Clash at the Castle drew massive numbers there in 2022.
SummerSlam 2025 is already confirmed for Wembley, so WWE clearly has a real working relationship with that venue. That makes London feel like an obvious WrestleMania candidate eventually — but eventually and 2028 are two different things.
WrestleMania 41 is set for Las Vegas in 2025. After that, WWE hasn’t publicly locked in confirmed locations through 2028, which is exactly why the London speculation keeps picking back up every few months. Fans and media fill the vacuum when nothing official gets announced.
The rumor mill around a London WrestleMania has been running for years at this point. Every time WWE runs a major UK event, the conversation restarts. And honestly, that makes sense — the demand is clearly there. WWE talent has talked openly about how much they love performing in the UK, and the business case writes itself when you look at international market growth being a stated priority for the company under TKO.
But the Mayor’s office saying there are no specific 2028 WrestleMania discussions happening right now is about as direct as it gets from that side of the conversation. It doesn’t kill the dream permanently. It just means nobody has actually sat down and started negotiating a WrestleMania deal for London yet.
Watch how the SummerSlam 2025 Wembley event performs. If that number is massive — and there’s no reason to think it won’t be — that becomes the argument WWE uses internally to push for an eventual WrestleMania across the pond. The groundwork is being laid even if the specific deal isn’t happening yet.
London WrestleMania is a matter of when, not if. Just not confirmed for 2028.
