Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger says WrestleMania will take place in the United Kingdom sooner or later. In an interview with TheSportBible.com, Swagger said that the UK is WWE’s second-biggest market outside of the United States, and it only makes sense to host their biggest pay-per-view of the year there.
“I’d say it’s a case of not if, but when,” Swagger said. “When WrestleMania goes international the first place we’ve got to go is the UK, definitely.”
When asked about his dream opponent, Swagger chose someone not currently on the WWE roster. He says Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle is someone he wants to face, and shared a story about meeting the former WWE headliner.
“I recently met Kurt Angle. We were in Pittsburgh and I was working out with R-Truth and Kurt was in the same gym. So Truth knows him, and he told him I was here and wanted to meet him,” he revealed. “It was just before he did the match at that event with Mysterio with all the boxing and MMA fights on the card (laughs). When I first started watching wrestling, he was the guy I watched ‘cos he was an amateur and an Olympian, and that’s why I watch wrestling, for the technical aspect so yeah, I’d choose Kurt Angle.”
