The Rock Announces the Official Return of the XFL

SJ - October 1, 2020

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who saved the XFL from being auctioned off back in August, announced the league's official return on Thursday morning.

In a minute long video The Rock and his ex-wife and business partner, Dany Garcia, announced the XFL will be kicking off in the spring of 2022.

XFL returns SPRING 2022 🏈

As owners, we’re proud to champion our XFL players, coaches, cities and fans into an electrifying 2022 season!

It’s an uphill battle - but we’re hungry, humble and no one will outwork us.

A league of culture, passion & purpose. #XFL✊🏾#Spring2022 pic.twitter.com/jY0VWGj33Y

With The Rock involved you know it's going to be a success. That's assuming everything is back to normal by then and the world isn't burning.

Hopefully by the time 2022 rolls around we're ready for spring football again.
