Mark Andrews discusses the rumors about WrestleMania coming to London.
At WWE Money in the Bank, John Cena said he thought that London should host a WrestleMania. Since then, fans have buzzed about the possibility. The conversation heated up with London Mayor Sadiq Khan said it was exciting to be working with WWE.
Speaking with Sean Thorne for The Winning Edge Podcast (via Casino.org), former NXT UK star Mark Andrews was asked whether he thought the rumors about WrestleMania in London were a direct response to AEW holding All In at Wembley Stadium and WWE "missing the boat" in the United Kingdom.
“100%. I mean, let's look at the history books, right? I think it's kind of pretty proven from the last well, 10 years, the WWE definitely, sometimes misses the boat, and then last minute, reacts a little bit, you know what I mean? That's not me kind of trying to insult the company because they're the biggest company in the wrestling world. I think sometimes that they probably have so many plates spinning, they miss things. In my opinion, I'm surprised how long it's taken up to get to this because, AEW, they sold out Wembley last year at All In. It's only now, after the second All In is happening in Wembley that the rumors are coming around about potentially having WrestleMania in London. Fans have been wanting it for years, especially in London. So yeah, it feels crazy to me that it's kind of taken this long, if I'm honest, but I definitely think it's a direct reaction to how well AEW is doing in the UK," Andrews said.
