With TKO holding a town hall meeting on Monday to address, amongst other things, various WWE topics, there are now some new comments from WWE President Nick Khan on WrestleManias 42 and 44.

In audio obtained by the fine folks over at POST Wrestling, Khan hinted at some regret over running back-to-back WrestleManias - as in, 41 and 42 - from Allegiant Stadium, saying:

"That was ultimately my decision. Maybe we don't do that one again, in terms of back-to-back, but ultimately it ended up being a successful event."

Of course, 'Mania 42 was seriously lagging in ticket sales in the weeks and months leading up to the event when compared to 'Mania 41, with WWE running various promotions to help push ticket sales as the PLE got closer.

WrestleMania 43 has long been confirmed to be taking place in Saudi Arabia, and Nick Khan hinted that something big is being planned for WrestleMania 44, which has yet to have a location announced.

As Khan put it on WrestleMania 44:

"Wait until you hear the announcement on where we're going to be for WrestleMania in 2028."

While Khan offered no further comments on WrestleMania 44, his words have led to plentiful speculation, not least in how WWE could finally bring a WrestleMania to the UK, potentially at London's Wembley Stadium - a venue used twice by AEW in recent years, but with historical ties to WWE through SummerSlam '92, even though that event technically took place from a different Wembley Stadium.
