Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was left standing tall after WrestleMania 40 went off the air, and now hopes to bring the annual mega-show to the UK.
Rhodes has been headlining WWE's recent tour of the UK, which also features Becky Lynch despite rumors of time off. At an event in Birmingham, England, Rhodes marked his first title defense with a victory over Shinsuke Nakamura.
After the match, Rhodes spoke about keeping his promise to the fans after stating at a previous WWE event that the next time he's in the UK, he would be a champion. Amid chants of 'You Deserve It' from the crowd, Rhodes said that the fans deserve a WrestleMania in the UK.
“If anybody deserves anything, I’m going to echo John Cena saying the United Kingdom deserves a WrestleMania.”
While Rhodes, John Cena, and countless fans hope to bring WrestleMania to the UK, this monumental feat is easier said than done. The time difference between the UK and the United States would be a huge factor as PLEs in the UK air much earlier in the day States-side.
Despite WWE bringing more events overseas in recent years, it appears that WrestleMania won't be making the move just yet. WWE President Nick Khan recently stated that the company's big four events (WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble) will remain in North America for the foreseeable future.
The location of WrestleMania 41 has yet to be publicly confirmed, with Las Vegas and Minneapolis currently the front runners. While the Minnesotan city has been treated as a 'lock' for the 2025 event, some believe that WWE will head to Vegas following the chilly conditions of WrestleMania 40.
Burke Nihill, the President/CEO of the NFL's Tennessee Titans, has said that WWE has committed to bring WrestleMania 43 to Nashville in 2027. WWE has yet to confirm this.
