The Rock kicks off NFL season: Rock’s own football league begins in February
The season of The Rock’s own football league begins in February. In August 2020, The Rock, Dany Garia, and RedBird Capital Partners paid former WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon $15 million to acquire the XFL. The first season of the XFL, which debuted in 2001, lasted just one year. The COVID-19 epidemic caused the second iteration to end midway through the first season.
