WWE is reportedly 'in talks' over a sensational deal to bring either WrestleMania or another major pay-per-view to the UK.

The wrestling promotion entered into a multi-year exclusive agreement with BT Sport last June after ending its partnership with Sky Sports in the UK.

And it is now rumoured that WWE could hold one of the 'Big Four' pay-per-views outside of the US again.

The last major WWE pay-per-view to be held in the UK was SummerSlam at Wembley in 1992.

And The Sun reports that the 30th anniversary is coming up in 2022 and it is considered a 'landmark year.'

The publication added that the UK has several different venues that could host one of the WWE mega-shows.

According to The Sun, Wembley could be in consideration alongside Tottenham's new stadium, Arsenal's Emirates, the London Stadium and even Twickenham.

The newspaper claimed that Manchester United's iconic Old Trafford 'would also have a large enough capacity,' adding that WWE has a 'strong presence in the North [of England].'

WWE has long been rumoured to make a sensational return to the UK with one of the 'Big Four' pay-per-views.

BT Sport has significantly increased coverage for WWE in the UK since it inked its deal with Vince McMahon's promotion.

And the broadcaster currently shows flagship shows Raw and SmackDown, along with both the US and UK brands of NXT.

This year's WrestleMania will be held at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, in April.

And Charlotte Flair, who won the women's Royal Rumble, will take on Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship at the Show of Shows.

WWE announced earlier this month that WrestleMania 37, which will be held in 2021, would be heading to the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
