Cena reminded the spectators that this was the first WWE PLE in London in 20 years. He then questioned what took the promotion so long, taking a shot at WWE.

After Cena cut his promo, there was a huge buzz regarding his WrestleMania proposal. The marquee event has never been held anywhere else apart from North America. So, if Cena’s wish come true, it would also force the WWE to ditch their tradition and fly to a different continent to host the show.
At the MITB press conference, Triple H came clean on the feasibility of the WWE hosting WrestleMania at London. “As far as WrestleMania goes, it’s tough. I wish it was that easy. I wish it was as easy to say as, ‘Like, man, that’s phenomenal there. Let’s go.’ We’d be going to a lot of places,” he said.
