In a list of pledges, Sadiq Khan announced that he wants to bring back the Olympics in the city and even WWE WrestleMania to take over the capital. He said:

"From the Olympics, to the Lionesses winning the Euros at Wembley, to the Ashes at Lord’s and The Oval, London is where it’s at. If I’m re-elected on May 02, I’m determined to go even further and fully cement London’s reputation as the undisputed sports capital of the world. I believe that London has the potential to host the first international WrestleMania." [H/T: My London]
