Rumours have popped up suggesting that WWE will bring the 'go home' edition of Raw to London, England before jetting off to Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania 43 next year. If true, then WrestleVotes on Fightful Select reports that this will be the first 'go home' episode of the flagship to take place outside North America.

It'll also surely be viewed as a teaser of things to come for the UK audience. People in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have wanted 'Mania on home soil for the longest time. So, is this WWE's way of telling them that's coming, or is it simply convenience to fly out from London to Saudi mid-tour?

You know which way most fans will lean on this one. Those in the UK have heard countless teases on house shows and following TV tapings in the country for years now - Cody Rhodes was the latest to flash that in front of folks during a house show tour in England.

Previously, time difference was cited as a huge reason why WWE wouldn't do it, but they're taking WrestleMania to Saudi now. Things have changed, and fans domestically in the United States don't seem to mind checking out major PLEs earlier in the afternoon.

This is certainly one story well worth keeping an eye on. Nothing is set in stone just yet, but stay tuned for more on Raw in London before 'Mania 43 and a developing 'WrestleMania in the UK' narrative that'll grow arms and legs if the 'go home' show is confirmed.
