“Thank Goodness Black Adam Is Over”: Fans Thrilled as Dwayne Johnson Teases Fulfilling Another Year-Long Dream

Apart from being an ace actor, Dwayne Johnson is also well-acclaimed as an excellent pro-wrestler and one of the most influential businessmen. Johnson started his amateur football career but could earn fame there and had to switch careers. Soon, Johnson stepped into the industry of pro wrestling. Using his exceptional promo-delivering skills and wrestling abilities, Johnson rose the ranks and became a top star there.

However, he would again switch careers and make a shift to Hollywood to pursue his life as an actor. After some initial bumps and struggles, The Rock quickly became the highest-paid actor in football. Despite such career shifts, his love for one thing never changed. That is football.

Dwayne Johnson always loved football. As an actor, he was a part of a television show called ‘Ballers’ based on the game of football. However, in 2020, he purchased XFL for around $15 million. Alongside Dany Garcia and Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Capital, Dwayne Johnson owns the XFL.

For the past two years, he has diligently promoted the alternate football league to the NFL. When the then-Vince McMahon-owned XFL was launched in 2001, it came out with the motive of fast-paced action, cheerleaders in scanty clothing, and more aggressive football. However, with new management in charge, such does not seem to be the direction.

The Rock recently took to Instagram to share an update on the league’s future. He shared on Twitter how, on Halloween, he would be announcing the eight teams, their official names, logos, and identities.

The names and other identities will be revealed on 31st October, at 8 PM ET.

Fans react to the news of XFL revealing its team names

XFL has always been a talking point because of its previous controversies and money-related matters. However, when Johnson and his team took over the league, a new ray of hope arrived. Fans were excited to see what was in store, and how everything would unveil. And so, on the day of Halloween, The Rock and the XFL would release the names and identities of all the eight teams involved in the league.

Such is the crazy hype for the league, that some fans even took to social media to reveal some exciting and new words that they invented for the purpose of the league.

The XFL is scheduled to start next year in 2023 February. It is supposed to have a regular season, unlike the previous season in 2020, which had to be cut short because of Covid-19 reasons. The league is confirmed to have eight teams with a few new additions.
