The story of how Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became passionate soccer club owners is quite interesting. The Hollywood actors took over a fifth-tier club playing in the non-football league in Wales in February 2021. Their sole goal was to make the club a force to reckon with.

Wrexham AFC embarked on a journey of promotion fueled by their celebrity owners. It was a perfect Hollywood ending for the Red Dragons and now the documentary ‘Welcome to Wrexham 2’ will cover the promotion story. 

They missed out narrowly on promotion last season. Wrexham players looked determined this season for the promotion. And they did the job in front of their proud owners at the Racecourse Stadium against the best defense of the National League. It was a record-breaking season for the Red Dragons. They now have the most points in a single National League season with a game to go.

Ryan Reynolds was excited to see his team getting the ultimate prize, league title, and promotion.

The win left the Deadpool star speechless. He was seen shedding tears in excitement after the sensational 3-1 victory against Boreham Wood at the Racecourse Stadium. Reynolds shared his feelings with BT Sport after the game.

He said, “I’m not sure I can process what happened tonight. I’m still a little speechless. One thing that’s running through my head over and over again is people saying, ‘Why Wrexham? why Wrexham?’ This is exactly why Wrexham. Happening right now is why.”
