Recently, XFL’s Senior Director of Equipment Operations, CJ Cavazos, shared a picture with Johnson of having a great time in Hawaii. Cavazos mentioned The People’s Champ is a great spokesperson for XFL who truly cares about young talents.

The Rock in response wrote an appreciation post for Cavazos. He replied, stating, “You’re the real deal, brother. Appreciate all your hard work for our @XFL2023. Let’s keep raising the bar and, most importantly, creating opportunities for these young men to live their dreams.”

Johnson has a known passion for football. The aim was to provide the players with a stage on which they can grow and showcase their abilities. After putting in the work, Johnson eventually presented the all-new XFL.

Thanks to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, the XFL made a comeback on January 25, 2018. The league could only go on for 5 weeks because of the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, the remaining games had to be postponed. Which The Rock eventually purchased.
