8 Things We Learned At WWE Live In London
2. WWE Are Thinking About Doing A Major PPV In The UK
This is not speculation, and nor is it wishful thinking. This is now the agenda.
Drew McIntyre, with a live microphone in his hand and working for a company that doesn't let talent utter a single word that hasn't been approved well in advance, told fans in attendance that they will bring a major PPV to the UK in the near future.
"Next year's a very special occasion. I don't know if you all know, some of you wouldn't have been born at the time. But next year is the 30th anniversary of Summerslam 1992. I've been talking about this non-stop because I'm going to make it happen one way or another.
"I'll say it once, I'll say it a million times; the UK is going to get a significant WWE PPV if it's the last thing I do.
Drew once stood in front of fans in this country and swore blind he would become the first-ever British WWE Champion, and less than two years later he'd done it. If you're writing this story off as a house show frivolty designed to illicit a cheap pop, then you simply haven't been paying attention to the man's career. It's happening.
