After struggling to sustain success and then take off for a second time under the former boss, Vince McMahon, now XFL is all set to make its return. The one who rescued the league from bankruptcy and gave it a new life is none other than former WWE wrestler, Dwayne Johnson. He revived the football league to let it serve its fans with good quality sports entertainment. However, it seems like rather than getting excited about it, fans already fear its collapse. 

The history of XFL isn’t that pleasing, which also raises doubts in fans’ minds about its continued success. It was originally launched in 2001 and soon folded due to its plummeting viewership. After this awful closure, it relaunched again in 2020 just to get a colossal hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, it’s time for XFL to again kick off and go beyond. To do so, it will surely need the support of its fans. But the scene here looks contradictory as fans aren’t that sure about XFL’s future. 

Fans in distress for XFL even after the inclusion of Dwayne Johnson

After kicking off its third iteration on February 18, the league has already witnessed front-office changes for one of the teams. However, there can be more cuts on other teams as well. These announcements, just three days after its season opener, didn’t sit well with the fans. It’s also making them insecure about the league’s future as reflected in their reactions on social media.

Some of the fans claimed that XFL won’t last for a longer run. However, some were disappointed as it’s just been three days since the season started and bad news has started coming in. 

A disheartened fan even stated that the financial crunch has already made its way. Although, it’s already clarified by the XFL’s director of communications that the release of the Brahmas Mike Sheehan is a personnel matter. 

Fans showered their love after an XFL player got emotional during the interview, but those same fans are now doubting if the league has a bright future ahead.

Looking at XFL’s past the uncertainty about the league’s future in the minds of people is a legitimate concern. But there is a long way to go and with Dwayne Johnson at the helm things may look brighter for the XFL’s future in the coming weeks. The first priority of the stakeholders would now be to complete a first season without too much negative press.

Then they can bring exciting opportunities in the future for players and teams to succeed and give fans an alternative to the NFL.
