The WWE universe is abuzz with excitement as rumors swirl about a potential WrestleMania event taking place in the historic city of London. With numerous plans in the pipeline, WWE executives are considering the prospect of bringing their flagship event across the pond. However, one major hurdle stands in their way: the traditional WrestleMania events are paid shows, and London, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and thriving tourism industry, may not be willing to pay WWE for the anticipated boost in tourism that such an event would bring.
In a surprising turn of events, one of WWE’s most iconic figures, John Cena, made a captivating appearance at the recent Money in the Bank pay-per-view event. Cena took to the microphone, passionately expressing his belief that London deserves the grand spectacle of WrestleMania. His heartfelt speech struck a chord with the thousands of fans packed into the legendary O2 Arena, who echoed Cena’s sentiment with thunderous applause.
This move by Cena did not occur in isolation; it was a well-thought-out strategy by WWE. Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer revealed that Cena’s appearance and subsequent promo were not spontaneous acts but were planned in collaboration with WWE officials. John Cena’s words were carefully crafted to apply pressure on London, to remind them of the tremendous success of AEW All In London, which took place at the iconic Wembley Stadium.
However, following the event, Triple H, one of WWE’s top executives, seemed to downplay Cena’s actions. He appeared to be caught off guard by the fervor and enthusiasm generated by Cena’s plea, stating, “Oh, John Cena put us in a bad position.” It is apparent that Triple H’s comments were intended to maintain a sense of control and preserve the element of surprise, but the truth is that WWE was fully aware of Cena’s intentions and actively supported his endeavors.
After the show, Triple H said something like, ‘oh John Cena put us in a bad position,’ like come on, please, please. He didn’t go renegade on your show. He’s acting like ‘oh now we have to look into this.’ He knew exactly what that was.
