The journey of the XFL has been filled with ups and downs so far. It was first started by former WWE boss Vince McMahon in 2001, but could only last for a season. It was then restarted in 2018 but filed for bankruptcy in 2020. Then a syndicate with Johnson and Garcia bought it, and it has been intended to grow ever since.
