In case you guys aren't aware: The rumor is going around that Vince deliberately made the XFL go bankrupt and is buying it back to lessen the amount they would have had to pay if they kept in operation in 2020 supposedly.

So **really** shady business going on behind the scenes especially considering what happened with Oliver Luck.

Former WWE superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Gerry Cardinale’s private equity investment firm RedBird Capital have teamed up to buy the XFL for $15 million, the XFL announced. The deal, which was first reported by Sportico's Scott Soshnick, comes just hours before the league was slated to be auctioned.
According to Sportico, Johnson split the $15 million evenly with RedBird Capital.
“This is a Hollywood ending to our sale process and the start of a fantastic new beginning for the XFL with the best possible ownership group going forward,” XFL President Jeffrey Pollack said.
The XFL shut down its operations during its inaugural season on April 10 and laid off its entire staff. The league cited the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic as its main reason and then filed for bankruptcy three days later.
In May, Vince McMahon said that he had no plans to attempt to buy back the league. He first announced its return in 2018 and reportedly spent more than $200 million on it.
The 2020 XFL season only made it through five of its 10 scheduled weeks. It averaged about 1.9 million viewers on FOX per game

Wow not something I was expecting.

Decided to go ahead and move the topic into the XFL Discussion Thread.

That said, massive news if that's all it took for someone to buy off the XFL. I suppose we'll likely see the return of the XFL coming sooner rather than later with the same ruleset and the same teams, since it was arguably a winning formula.

If the XFL really does come back, what are the chances that the Tampa Bay team moves to Miami?

Great news to start out the week.

The Rock still bitter about his non-existent NFL career.
