It’s The People’s XFL Now!
Dwayne Johnson – AKA The Rock – says the deal to buy the XFL is officially DONE … and he can not wait to get to work.
As we reported earlier, Rock and his partners – Dany Garcia (Rock’s business partner and ex-wife) and RedBird Capital (let through Gerry Cardinale) – made in $ 15 million deal take over Vince McMahonthe beloved pro football league after it filed for bankruptcy earlier this year.
The deal was approved in bankruptcy court earlier this month – and Rock says all I’s have finally been settled and the T’s have been crossed.
“The deal is officially closed and ‘the keys’ for the XFL have been handed over,” Rock said.
“I accept and humbly pledge my calluses for hard work in building our new brand. Congratulations to my partners @DanyGarciaCo & #GerryCardinale and our sharp, hungry team. “
Rock included an image of the “key” – which says the word “Mana” … a Polynesian word for spiritual power.
No word on Rock’s timeline to bring the league back – but his good friend, Dana White, advised the WWE legend to get moving ASAP because there is a hunger market for live sports.

White even offered to advise the XFL on how to properly navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, as he himself has done with the UFC.
Congrats!
