Follow Us
The revival of XFL is now rolling up some exciting new logos and plans. League president Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been doing some major work, while the re-packaging has been teasing some excitement and making it a legitimate rival for the NFL. Additionally, Dwayne now has a big believer, Cowboys icon Michael Irvin, who calls The Rock-led XFL a revolutionary accord for American Football.
The league shut its operations after the coronavirus pandemic hit. After a brief run of the league under WWE chairperson Vince McMahon, Dwayne Johnson purchased the XFL and prepped it for some exciting fresh changes. The re-packaged league is also collaborating with the NFL, as declared by its president, and has established an R&D collaboration with the league.

Michael Irvin describes Dwayne Johnson as having a ‘magical touch.’ While he has been curious since the former WWE superstar’s acquisition of the league. He also cajoles him into going to the same university as Irvin. They haven’t, however, explored talking business.
In an exclusive interview with Essentially Sports, Irvin reveals, “Dwayne Johnson and I went to the same University. He went to the University of Miami after me. But I’ve never had the chance to get to know him. I haven’t done any business deals with him. But that’s what I said. Everything he touches turns to gold. He has the Midas touch.”
