The Rock has come a long way with his XFL dream

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his business allies, Redbird Capital Partners, Garcia brought the XFL brand with a whopping 23.5 million from Vince McMahon back in August 2020 to revive the league from a potential bankruptcy situation.

This came as a result of Mr McMahon’s failed attempt to relaunch it amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Johnson turned into a guardian angel and the league resumed its season in February 2023. The journey wasn’t smooth entirely. The league recorded an enormous loss of $60 million in the year before Johnson spilled the big merger.

From this point, we can expect a solid bounce back for XFL as well as for the Spring Football.
