WWE has many passionate fans in the United Kingdom. The company, however, has not had a major PPV, such as a WrestleMania or Royal Rumble, since the 1992 SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium.
In an interview with The Daily Mirror a few years ago, The Billion Dollar Princess revealed that WWE could hold the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, or SummerSlam in the United Kingdom in the future.
"WWE always listens to our fanbase. The UK fans are pretty loud, pretty rowdy in a great way, and you know we are constantly evaluating that. Personally I would love to see it. I know it would be incredible," she said.

Vince McMahon's company has held several events in the United Kingdom in the past few years, including Monday Night RAW and SmackDown. The UK also has its own brand of NXT.
WWE had a tour in the UK last September. Earlier this month, WWE Superstars arrived in the country for another one. The current WWE UK tour kicked off in Brighton on November 3 and will end in Manchester next Wednesday.
