Dwayne Johnson always has a tight schedule. Apart from his multiple Hollywood projects, other various ventures also take up his time. The actor was slated to appear at WrestleMania 39 this year, but it looks more and more unlikely that he will play a part at the event. However, that does not mean that he would not be appearing in front of thousands of fans in the near future.

The Rock’s successful Hollywood star, Johnson, is complemented by his shrewd investments. He heads his own production house, Seven Bucks, and on top of that, ‘The People’s Champ’ is also a co-owner of the XFL football league that is scheduled to start on 17th February. As such, he can be expected to make public appearances in the initial stages of the revamped league. In fact, he is a certainty for the inaugural contest.

XFL gets a new life

The XFL was first started way back in 2001 by former WWE chairman Vince McMahon in a joint venture with ABC. But due to a plethora of issues, the league was canceled.

Another attempt to restart the league in 2020 was marred by the sudden onset of Covid-19. The football league was canceled indefinitely. It will see the light of day on Saturday under new leadership, which includes DJ. What impact it has this time around remains to be seen.

The fact that the returning championship is timed during the NFL off-season might definitely help boost its viewership.
