Triple H has spoken about potentially holding a pay-per-view event in the UK again. The last time that WWE has held a live PPV event in the country was back in 1992 at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view. It should be noted that WWE did hold an NXT TakeOver special in 2015 in London that aired on the WWE Network.
Once WWE launched their own streaming service, WWE Network, many fans thought that it’s just a matter of time before the company holds another PPV (pay-per-view) event in the United Kingdom. However, that has not been the case.
Triple H spoke about the possibility of the UK getting another big event during a recent interview with the Express. “The Game” stated that Summerslam 1992 in Wembley Stadium was not a major success for the company in terms of its financial return. Thus, the reason why WWE hasn’t held a big event in the stadium since.
“As far as the ability to have larger Pay-Per-Views and larger events, yeah. I think you see that happening now. I just came back from Australia, 70,000 people in the stadium. I think those things become clearer and clearer as we’re experimenting with other things. The time zones are the big kicker. We have to go where the most people can watch.”
Triple H continued, “I always hear about Wembley, I always hear it was such a massive success. It was not. I will just say that from a business standpoint, it was not. That’s why we didn’t come back and that’s why we’re still trying to figure it out. So when the time is right, absolutely.”
