  • Grayson Waller Isn’t Interested In Competing At “Very Depressing” UK WrestleMania

    Grayson Waller Isn’t Interested In Competing At “Very Depressing” UK WrestleMania

    WWE Tag Team Champion Grayson Waller isn’t interested in a UK-based WrestleMania and believes such a show would be “very depressing” for fans. 

    The Aussie Icon was at WWE Money in the Bank 2023 when John Cena shared his intention to bring WWE’s flagship show to the UK. At London’s O2 Arena, Waller argued that WWE’s first international WrestleMania should be in his native Australia and ate an Attitude Adjustment for his troubles. 

    Given what transpired in London, Waller has taken a staunch anti-UK stance when it comes to the possibility of an international WrestleMania. Speaking to the UK’s Daily Star newspaper, Waller shared why he thinks a UK-based WrestleMania is a bad idea. 

     “I just don’t think it’s something that I want to do, that most of the wrestlers want to do. I’ve been to London. it’s a depressing place, and I think WrestleMania in London would be a very depressing WrestleMania. We don’t want that. So, its Sadiq, right? [referring to London Mayor Sadiq Khan being in favor of WrestleMania.]  Well, I think you’re an idiot and WrestleMania in Australia is going to be much better!”

    Waller isn’t a fan of the idea of WrestleMania in the UK. 

    UK WrestleMania: Is It Possible? 

    There are obvious logistics WWE will have to consider when deciding whether a WrestleMania in the UK will be viable. Perhaps the most obvious will be the timezone difference. If WrestleMania began at 8 pm local time, that would be a 4 pm ET start in the United States. 

    Triple H has said that anything is possible when it comes to WrestleMania taking place in the UK. With that said, WWE President Nick Khan has reportedly said that WWE’s ‘Big Four’ events will remain in North America for the foreseeable future. WWE will return to the UK very soon for its upcoming WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland event and a well-performing show could make WWE seriously consider WrestleMania in the UK. 

  • Hall Of Famer Returning To WWE For Two Shows This Weekend

    Hall Of Famer Returning To WWE For Two Shows This Weekend

    WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will be returning to the company for a couple of Live Event appearances this weekend.

    The wrestling veteran announced on Twitter that she will be a part of the live event from Kingston on Saturday and London on Sunday:

    “Guess who’s coming to the @WWE Live Events this weekend!! Come see @FightOwensFight, @DomMysterio35  and @AlexaBliss_WWE and yours truly. Welp someone has to come and maintain control…”

    WWE has not announced what Trish Stratus will be doing on the show, but it won’t be a surprise if she gets physical during the event.

    The former champion made similar appearances during WrestleMania week earlier this year. She had an altercation with Becky Lynch during a house show and also took part in The TKO Show with Kevin Owens.

    Trish Stratus had a successful WWE career in early 2000. She won the women’s championship a record 7 times during her run and inspired many girls to pursue a wrestling career.

    The Hall of Famer made an in ring return in 2018 during Royal Rumble. She competed in several matches after her return including a tag team match at Evolution. Trish concluded this run with a match against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2019.
