The NFL season had fans on out their seats for expectations with football players on new rosters. As for successful actor and WWE legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, he announced the XFL will return in spring 2022.
In an exciting preview of the season, Johnson broke the news via Twitter.
“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,” Johnson tweeted.
In the video, Johnson narrates giving insight on what people might see when the thought of football comes.
“Some look at this place and only see a football field. This is hallowed ground.”
The XFL found itself in a world of trouble filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to COVID-19 derailing the 2020 season.
Depending on how the pandemic goes, the XFL could possibly learn from the NFL on how ensuring athletes are safe with proper protocol. Johnson is the perfect guy to market this league given the history he has as an entertainer and relationship with WWE CEO Vince McMahon.
Football fans, the wait is almost here and hopefully, two years will go by quicker than a spiral pass.
