Make no mistake about it, the powers that be in the UK would love for WrestleMania to come to British shores. Bidding for the event is as fierce as any other major event and its easy to see why - the economic benefits of the international WWE community descending upon a city like London is underestimated by nobody.

Sometimes these bids succeed (The Olympics, The Rugby World Cup) other times they fail (FIFA World Cup) but if an event is worth hosting, the the UK make sure they are in the mix.

Former London Mayor (and current Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs) Boris Johnson has already admitted he is "dead keen" on bringing WrestleMania to London - revealing his great grandfather was briefly a fairground wrestler no less. Who knows, maybe he will have a word with WWE Hall of Famer - and President Elect - Donald Trump about securing the hosting rights as a gesture of good will. Hey, we can dream.
