“I Could Not Afford Him”: $800M Dwayne Johnson Failed to Sign 2X Super Bowl Champion and Patrick Mahomes’ Star Teammate for the XFL Despite Being a Close Friend

The first season for XFL under the leadership of Dwayne Johnson and ex-wife Dany Garcia started earlier this year in February. The opening day of the new season saw a special speech from the male XFL co-owner and a tremendous victory of the Arlington Renegades over the Vegas Vipers.

Big NFL names like Josh Gordon, Martavis Bryant and Brett Hundley, Paxton Lynch, and A.J. McCarron are playing for Seattle Sea Dragons, Vegas Vipers, Orlando Guardians, and St. Louis Battlehawks respectively. There are many other top NFL names playing this XFL season except for the Kansas City Chiefs star.

Travis Kelce is not in Dwayne Johnson’s first XFL season

Johnson’s recent Twitter post indicates that Travis Kelce is not a part of this year’s XFL season. Recently, XFL Houston Roughnecks head coach, Wade Phillips, shared a photo of himself standing alongside Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs teammate. In his tweet, Phillips thanked the “very best TE in all of football” for clicking a picture with him.

DJ retweeted the post and mentioned that he would “love to see” the NFL TE in the XFL season. Sharing a throwback memory with his fans, he confessed the NFL star would mock him, saying that he wouldn’t be able to recruit a two-time Super Bowl Champion, which appears to be the case.

Apparently, both megastars admire each other. Earlier this year in January, the two stars headlined social media. It was after Kelce pulled out a Johnson-inspired WWE move after his AFC Championship win. For an entire week before the final match, Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval trash-talked about the Chiefs tight end.

After the Kansas City Chiefs won the game, the team’s TE decided to give Pureval a dose of his own medicine. He smack-talked about the Cincinnati mayor after picking up a tremendous victory over Cincinnati Bengals. Therefore, he took out a page from The Great One’s WWE book.

During an on-stage interview with Jim Nantz of CBS Sports, he cut The Rock-style promo and yelled, “I’ve got some words for the Cincinnati mayor. Know your role and shut your mouth, you jabroni!” The wrestler-turned-actor has himself showcased his admiration for Kelce over Twitter twice.

This created a buzz all around social media. And for days fans couldn’t stop talking about the NFL star’s savage-style rant on the Cincinnati mayor.
