However, regardless of this deterrence, White recently announced the second installment of Power Slap, along with some exciting news for the fans.

Talking about the slap league’s success, White stated, “It’s unbelievable. Not only is it unbelievable money-wise, it’s been unbelievable as far as social media goes.” He then went on to make an even more substantial claim to back up his previous statement, saying, “We’re number one in all of sports. And when I say all of sports- if you take the NBA, the NHL, the NFL, F-1, WWE, and who am I forgetting- and add them all together, their numbers don’t compare to Slap.”
