Drew McIntyre Advocates for WrestleMania to be Held in Scotland’s Murrayfield Stadium
In a recent Twitter post, three-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre expressed his belief that WrestleMania should be held in Scotland’s Murrayfield Stadium. McIntyre’s statement comes in response to London mayor Sadiq Khan’s expressed desire to bring WrestleMania to London, a sentiment also shared by WWE superstar John Cena.
McIntyre, who hails from Scotland himself, hopes that the success of the upcoming Clash At The Castle event will showcase why WrestleMania should be hosted in Murrayfield Stadium. The Clash At The Castle event is set to take place in Scotland’s largest stadium, which boasts a capacity of over 67,000. Owned by the Scottish Rugby Union, the venue is primarily used for rugby matches.
The call for WrestleMania to be held in the United Kingdom has gained traction in recent years, with Cody Rhodes also expressing his belief that the UK deserves to host the prestigious event. Rhodes made this statement during a WWE live event held at London’s O2 Arena.
While WrestleMania has traditionally been held in the United States, the idea of expanding the event to international locations has been gaining momentum. The potential for WrestleMania to be hosted in London or Scotland would not only provide a unique experience for fans but also showcase the global appeal of professional wrestling.
In the meantime, WWE fans in Scotland can look forward to the upcoming Clash At The Castle: Glasgow pay-per-view event, which will be held in the OVO Hydro in June. This event will serve as a precursor to the larger-scale WrestleMania event that McIntyre and others hope to bring to Scotland in the future.
As discussions continue regarding potential international locations for WrestleMania, the enthusiasm and support from WWE superstars like Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes only further highlight the growing demand for the event to be held outside of the United States. Whether it ultimately takes place in London, Scotland, or another international destination, the prospect of WrestleMania expanding its reach is an exciting one for fans around the world.
