LONDON MAYOR Sadiq Khan continues to push WWE to bring WrestleMania to the British capital.
British WWE fans have been wanting professional wrestling’s biggest show to come to the UK for decades.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan continues to push WWE to bring WrestleMania to the British capitalKhan has held talks with WWE about bringing WrestleMania to LondonWWE chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque suggested he is open to bringing WrestleMania to London.
The UK has some of the most hardcore WWE fans around the world and London has hosted a series of major premium live events, including Money in the Bank in 2023 and SummerSlam in 1992.
The mayor wants to make the pro wrestling enthusiasts’ dream a reality and has held talks with WWE chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, who previously suggested he is open to the prospect.
And he made one more major call to Triple H urging him to bring the Show of Shows across the pond to the “sporting capital”.
London has hosted a number of major sporting events throughout the years, including the Champions League final, Wimbledon, NFL matches and of course the 2012 Olympics.
Khan told CNBC: “I’d love for WrestleMania to come to London.
“Triple H if you’re watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London.
“If WrestleMania came to London, my message to the team there is that we wouldn’t just have a great weekend, we’d have a festival, of you know, legends in WrestleMania coming to London, current stars, but also future stars as a well.
“It will open a completely new market for them as well.
“I think the potential has not been reached in terms of WrestleMania.
“We are the sporting capital, in my view, of the world. And if WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London.”

AXED Love Island hunk Kyle Ashman took part in “misogynistic” videos with a pal where they secretly filmed women.

Now it has been revealed that he had a joint TikTok and YouTube page with a friend called Fin Musker.
Whilst the joint pages have been wiped of content, a source has told The Sun that the videos involved them “picking up girls and filming them without knowledge”.
The source added that the videos “displayed misogynistic behaviour towards women”.
Some content still online shows Fin and Kyle out on the town, kissing women and speaking to them in bars.
When approached about the videos, Kyle did not wish to comment.
It raises further question marks about ITV’s vetting process for its reality shows.
Earlier this week Kyle was sent packing from Majorca after The Sun alerted show bosses that he had been arrested on suspicion of a machete attack and was only cleared by police last month – meaning he would’ve been in discussion with authorities whilst auditioning for Love Island.
ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of Monday’s launch.
A source said: “All of the online content had been cleared so may not have come up on surface level checks, but for this kind of show far deeper trawls should be in place.
“ITV has steered clear of OnlyFans stars in the past and Kyle’s link to one – particularly taking part in joint content of a misogynistic nature – is surely not in keeping with Love Island being a family show.”
ITV declined to comment.
Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed over a brutal machete attack at a wake in Stafford in February but was released with no further action.
Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks.
The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks.
Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club.
Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed.
Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month.
Speaking after he was axed from the show, he said: “I’m not a bad guy, honestly. I’m a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it’s been taken away from me.
“I’ve seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I’ll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I’m not a bad guy. We’ll see.”

Troubled history of telly hit
By Jonathan Kanengoni
LOVE Island has been hit by a string of controversies since it first aired in 2015.
Malia Arkian lasted just three hours before she was marched out by security in its second year after pushing co-contestant Kady McDermott for spilling wine on her.
Sherif Lanre was booted off after nine days in 2019.
He had made a vile joke after accidentally kicking fan fave Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch during a play fight.
In the same year Women’s Aid complained of contestant Joe Garratt’s “abusive” behaviour towards on-screen partner Lucie Donlan.
She broke down in tears after he told her to stay away from the other lads.
Ollie Williams left after three days in 2020 when he realised he still had feelings for his ex.
But his exit came amid mounting pressure on bosses to remove him after pictures of him allegedly trophy hunting came to light.
Salesman Haris Namani was dumped in 2023 after The Sun revealed footage of him in a street brawl.
The show has also been accused of failing to look after islanders’ mental health when filming stops.
Sophie Gradon took her own life, aged 32, two years after she appeared on Love Island 2016.
And Mike Thalassitis’s suicide in 2019, at 26, prompted calls for better after-care by reality shows.
In 2022, watchdog Ofcom received 3,600 complaints in a week over alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants.
And this year it received thousands of complaints about All Stars contestant Elma Pazar’s bullying of Ekin- Su Culculoglu during a row.

Brian had been co-hosting the weekday show from 10am to 1pm with Suzanne Kane since March 2023.
It was an emotional final show for the dad-of-two, who told listeners: “I have had the best time here for nearly two and a half years.
“It’s been an absolute blast. It’s been an honour to sit in this chair for the length of time I have.”
Fighting back tears, he added: “I’m sure a lot of people thought, ‘Oh, Brian Dowling got a job – He’ll be in it six weeks and he’ll be gone’. I have given this show absolutely everything.
“I became a dad on this show. I’ve had television success on this show. I’ve had it all on this show.”
Arthur, who had tuned in from home, shared an emotional tribute after hearing Brian’s final sign-off, revealing it brought him “to tears”.
He wrote: “I listened to my husband saying goodbye to something he had given everything to for the last two and a half years – a show he didn’t just work on – he lived it.”
Praising his husband’s passion, Arthur added: “Every morning, every laugh, every moment he poured his heart and soul into… and he loved every second of it.”
During the final statement, Brian himself also admitted: “I can’t lie. It’s been tough recently, but I’ve tried to stay strong.”
Arthur said it wasn’t just because “it’s over” that made him emotional, as he added: “But because I’m so proud of the man behind the mic.”
He gushed: “Baby, you are one of the most genuine, passionate and talented people I know. Watching you chase your dream with such fire and joy has been nothing short of inspiring.”
The celebrity judge also acknowledged how much the show meant to him and their two little ones.
He added: “Blake, Blu and I have loved starting our mornings with your voice – and we’re just as excited for what comes next.”
And signing off with some hopeful words, Arthur wrote: “So here’s to new beginnings, new chapters and new adventures. Keep your head high, WE LOVE YOU. The best is still to come.
“Thank you for making us smile and laugh 5 days a week on 98FM. We’ve always got your back – and we always will.”
‘WE LOVE YOU’
At the end of the final show today, Leanne praised Brian saying: “It’s been a pleasure. We love you. You brought so much energy, such enthusiasm to what you do.
“I think you’ve proven so many people wrong as well. I think that that is the biggest, biggest thing. And you’re just, you’re a great person.
“We love spending time with you. All our listeners this morning have been sending in so many texts, so many WhatsApps saying the very same thing about how much you have kept them company over the last two years and how much you will be missed.”
Brian replied: “Listen, I’m lucky enough to meet our listeners on a daily basis. They are the salt of the earth, lovely people. I’ve had a laugh every single day.
“I’ve never taken the job for granted. I’ve appreciated every day. I’ve been sat in front of this mic and I’m being myself and I don’t regret any of it.
“I don’t believe you should have regrets in life.”
