Vince released a filing with the course claiming he will not be trying to buy back the xfl.  Also reportedly there are 20 entities that have filed interested including buying the assets and re launching in 2021

Quote

Former XFL director of player personnel Eric Galko is confident about the level of talent assembled by the league.

Especially the undefeated Houston Roughnecks who were led by former CFL head coach June Jones.

“If you stack up Houston against any other team, in any other league, I think only an NFL team would beat them. That includes the CFL,” Galko told ESPN reporter Kevin Seifert.

Them's fightin' words.

Damn it Dwayne, you could have bought the CFL...

 

Realistically.... Johnson is just the "face of the franchise"... his financial commitment is probably limited... if the headline says "redbird capital buys the XFL" no one cares...

Considering the money pit this league will be to relaunch for the third time, $15 million isn't a lot of cash invested. The AAF lost $200 million & the XFL was on its way to the same thing when Covid 19 struck & saved the league from more embarrasment. Crowds were shrinking & viewership was down considerably from the start of the season to when it ended. McMahon could see the writing on the wall & wanted no part of it anymore.
