John Cena has reaffirmed his long-standing belief that WrestleMania belongs in London, telling reporters that he is “still an advocate to try and bring WrestleMania to London” and that “London has earned the right to have the event.”
Cena’s comments mark the latest chapter in a campaign that stretches back three years. He first raised the idea publicly during a surprise appearance at WWE Money in the Bank 2023, which was held in London. At that event, Cena told the crowd that WrestleMania should be staged in the city, a statement that resonated with British fans who have watched WWE run large-scale shows in the United Kingdom without landing the promotion’s flagship event.
According to Fightful and Wrestling Headlines, Cena has not wavered from that position in the years since. Both outlets reported his renewed remarks, with Wrestling Headlines noting that Cena described himself as hopeful that WWE will “eventually” bring WrestleMania to London, even as he stopped short of offering any indication of a firm date, venue agreement, or official movement from WWE on the matter.
Cena’s advocacy carries particular weight given his status within the company. He is set to be inducted as a WWE Hall of Famer, and his public comments on major scheduling decisions tend to draw attention from both fans and WWE officials alike. WrestleMania has never been held outside North America in its four-decade history, making any move to London a landmark shift for the event rather than a routine international stop. WWE has periodically run large stadium shows in the UK, including Money in the Bank 2023, but the company has not announced any plans to relocate WrestleMania itself.
Neither Fightful nor Wrestling Headlines reported any response from WWE regarding Cena’s renewed push, and there is no confirmation from the company of discussions, a timeline, or a potential host stadium in London. The story, as it stands, is confined to Cena’s personal and repeated public advocacy rather than any official movement toward staging the event overseas. Fans hoping for clarity on whether WrestleMania will eventually cross the Atlantic will need to wait for WWE itself to address the possibility, something it has not done in response to Cena’s comments.
For now, Cena’s position remains consistent: London, in his view, has done enough to merit hosting WWE’s premier annual event, even without any official commitment from the company that employs him.
