Dwayne Johnson is arguably one of the most popular names in the entertainment business. Over the years, he has earned the reputation of being one of the best in the business. After a successful career in WWE, he would find a career in Hollywood. However, his passion for sports was always alive in him, and he bought XFL from Vince McMahon in 2020.

XFL first started in 2001 but fell flat on its face, proving a massive financial loss to McMahon. After facing a loss again with XFL in 2020, Johnson bought it from him and completely revamped the championship league. XFL is currently gaining popularity and is rising on the charts.

However, recently, Johnson’s XFL found itself amidst a controversy, after one of the league’s photographers underwent a grave injury on the pitch, while covering the match between Arlington Renegades and DC Defenders.
