Amongst the popular rumors about Dwayne Johnson getting ready to buy the WWE, another piece of news has come to light about the actor bringing back XFL. His acting career is seemingly going through a dry patch as he is stepping away from one iconic role after another. However, his reignited interest in sports has made fans wonder what his next move could be.
The football league will be rising for the third time and all thanks to Johnson. Although the response has been mixed, the actor seems to be looking forward to it. Although his net worth is growing by leaps and bounds, The Rock is investing in a league that has initially seen a couple of losses and can prove to be a big miss for him.
Dwayne Johnson Is Bringing Back XFL
Rumors about Dwayne Johnson looking to buy WWE have not yet faded and the actor is already bringing back XFL for the third time. The actor is very talented and can perfect anything he puts his mind to. From movies to wrestling and of course, football. Being a high school football player, he always had an interest in the sport and so, the eight teams of the XFL will be rising once again.
The wrestler-turned-actor bought the league for $15 Million alongside other investors. Fans are confused about whether or not they should be happy to see the league being given attention again or be sad about it being a wasted investment. While many are glad to see XFL return, some might contradict the thought. Even though the league is more of a losing investment according to the audience, there is a chance for it to grab viewers seeing that the league airs during the off-season for the NFL. However, that did not encourage many fans to watch it earlier as well.
Could Dwayne Johnson’s XFL Investment Be A Losing Bet?
The XFL’s viewership had reportedly declined by 50% as the league continued from one week to the next. This had been concerning to many people and was one of the major reasons for it to be stopped earlier. However, Dwayne Johnson is seemingly not bothered by what numbers are displayed.
“I’ve always played the long game. Step by step, week by week we build. Love and appreciate ALL OF YOU for your amazing support of our league of grit, passion, and second chances.”
The actor has always been an entertainer, whether in the film industry or in the WWE. He has an eye for the audience and knows exactly what to do and say that could bring their attention to him and what he is up to. This could very easily contribute to the numbers for the league and potentially save it if not make it better.
