One other sporting event could possibly be set to land on the South Lawn of the White House.

This past Sunday, the premier MMA promotion hosted their UFC Freedom 250 event from the South Lawn of the White House.

After months and months of anticipation, the event lived as much as expectation and can likely go down as one in all the best combat sports events of all time.

And although Dana White was adamant that no other event like that might ever happen, talks have already began for the following sporting event on the lawn of the White House.

WWE in talks for an event on the South Lawn

After what was such an incredibly successful event, Joe Rogan made an enormous claim that the event garnered a viewership of 150 million.

Despite that, Rogan’s inflated numbers were quickly dispelled when it was revealed that 17 million people tuned in for the historic event.

That number, though, remains to be an enormous number and since of that, the UFC’s sister company, the WWE, are actually in talks for a possible event on the South Lawn.

TKO, which owns each the UFC and the WWE, are reportedly testing the waters on a possible wrestling event, hoping to mimic the success of UFC Freedom 250.

Based on Wrestle Votes, the WWE are actually discussing the concept of hosting an event there as WWE officials were overly impressed with UFC Freedom 250 and so they are keen on doing the identical.

One in every of the foremost the reason why the UFC were in a position to host an event on the White House, though, is because President Donald Trump is a large fan of the promotion and the game of MMA and he has an incredible relationship with White.

Having said that, Trump does after all have history with the WWE also. Trump was famously involved in a ‘loser shaves his head match’ against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon back in 2007.
