Money in the Bank was the England’s first major pay-per-view in over 20 years and WWE made sure to pull out all the stops – including teasing a future WrestleMania event.
John Cena made a surprise visit to the O2 Arena and suggested that given the UK’s rabid fanbase, WWE should hold a WrestleMania in the UK for the first time ever.
It would be an unprecedented step for WWE to hold a WrestleMania outside of north America but given the success of Clash of the Castle last year and Money in the Bank this weekend, the UK has emerged as a prime market.
‘First of all, I’d like to say thank you to John Cena for putting me in an unenviable position right now,’ Triple H told reporters at the post-show press conference when asked about the possibility of holding the WWE’s premier event in the UK.
‘No matter what I say, I’m gonna get battered for it. Look, as I said earlier, I have been coming here since the early ‘90s, and it’s spectacular.’

Triple H hailed the British fanbase but revealed hosting events overseas is ‘more difficult than it appears’
‘As far as WrestleMania goes, it’s tough. I wish it was that easy. I wish it was as easy to say as, “Like, man, that’s phenomenal there. Let’s go.” We’d be going to a lot of places.
‘We intend to be a global company. We intend to be global. So never say never for any of it, right? The intent is there.
‘It’s a lot more difficult than it appears, but the intent is there. And if there’s a way to get a lot of these international events done, we’re hell-bent on doing them.’
