Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is officially in control of the XFL.
After buying the league with a group of people for $15 million, the Hollywood star tweeted Friday that “The deal is official closed and ‘the keys’ to the XFL have been handed over.” (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The deal is official closed and “the keys” to the XFL have been handed over. I humbly accept and promise to put my callouses to hard work building our new brand. Congrats to my partners @DanyGarciaCo & #GerryCardinale and our sharp, hungry team. #XFLOwner #ForTheLoveOfFootball pic.twitter.com/ctwRlewxxA

Below is a live look at me as soon I saw this tweet.
Hell yes, my friends. I can’t wait to see what Johnson does with the XFL. I honestly can’t wait, and I have no doubt it’ll be awesome.
Prior to coronavirus ending the XFL this past spring, the games were incredible. It’s obviously not NFL level football, but that’s okay.
It was fun, the level of play was solid, there were unique rules and the fans bought into the action. That’s all that needs to happen for the XFL to succeed.
Now, The Rock is in control, and I have no doubt that he’ll have the league rocking again in no time.
A spring football league can work, and I hope The Rock gets the job done.
