Triple H says a WrestleMania in the United Kingdom is not impossible but improbable.
WWE has been looking to expand into international markets with their new "Global Localization" plan which was a term created by Triple H. The WWE will soon be holding an event in United Kingdom and recently held a large scale network special in Saudi Arabia. In an interview with SkySports, Triple H was asked about doing pay-per-views or even WrestleMania in the United Kingdom. He said it would be a large project to undertake with a lot of obstacles.
"If you're going to set an ambition, set it high. As we always say, never say never. WrestleMania is a week-long series of events and the logistics of executing that week along with the week leading into it and the week after it are extraordinarily difficult in our own back yard," said Triple H. "Doing them internationally with international crews and international support systems and everything else is a factor of difficulty way beyond what we have in the US," he continued.
Triple H did not deny it was possible but he said WWE could do other things in the market which would be considerably easier.
"Can we get there? Sure, maybe over time. We would take steps in that direction and those steps are probably other pay-per-views. From my point of view I'd like to bring other meaningful events through WWE, whether that's NXT or the United Kingdom championships, taking international brands and putting them on in those markets," said Triple H.
In the rest of the interview, Triple H discussed the time difference being a big reason WWE would need to approach an overseas pay-per-view differently. When WWE went to Saudi Arabia, the network special started at noon on the east coast of the United States.
