British politicians have spoke about the call for a WrestleMania in London.
Alex Davies-Jones is the co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Wrestling. Alex, who’s the Labour MP for Pontypridd in Wales, discussed John Cena’s appearance at Money In The Bank on Saturday while speaking to BBC Newsbeat where she backed the call for London to host WrestleMania in the future.
“Nobody predicted John Cena coming out and announcing the possibility of a WrestleMania in the UK,”
“It was utterly incredible and got the whole place buzzing with excitement about the possibilities of what that could mean for wrestling fans, but also for the UK economy and also for future fans as well.”
“I would love for it (WrestleMania In London) to happen, the APPG have already been talking about how we can help to make that happen in whatever way we can in terms of facilitating some conversations.”
“Whatever we can do to make the UK attractive to host wrestling on the world stage we are more than happy to help facilitate,” she says.
“We would use our contact and negotiating skills to try and reach out to WWE, making conversations happen to try and promote the UK as a premier destination for world-class wrestling.”

We will have to wait and see if the British government will campaign for the event to come to London in the near future.
