Compared to a lot of countries outside of North America, the UK does better than most when it comes to seeing WWE live. The company visits twice a year to hold house shows across the country and tapes RAW and SmackDown there too. However, fans would still like a PPV to take place in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Island but the time difference has always made that an issue.
Well, with WWE no longer worried about that based on the recent events which took place in Saudi Arabia and Australia, what are the chances now that a WWE PPV will be held in the United Kingdom?
"I always hear about Wembley, I always hear it was such a massive success. It was not," Triple H recently explained when asked about that. "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."
"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… So when the time is right, absolutely." So, that's a big fat maybe for the time being then! Frustrating, eh?
It's easy to see where The Game is coming from, though. Super Show-Down wasn't a sellout and they rarely get to see WWE events so selling out a stadium in the UK might not be that easy...
