Now, out of nowhere, rumors of a potential return of the XFL have surfaced, with Brad Shepard reporting that McMahon is “looking to bring back the XFL and may announce it on January 25th, 2018.”

The WWE, when asked to confirm or deny a potential XFL reboot by David Bixenspan of Deadspin.com, said this: “Vince McMahon has established and is personally funding a separate entity from WWE, Alpha Entertainment, to explore investment opportunities across the sports and entertainment landscapes, including professional football. Mr. McMahon has nothing further to announce at this time.”

That’s far from a denial, and it feels like an implicit confirmation.

I think this is the perfect time to bring it back. Bring in a pile of X NFL players and change only a few of the rules. Also make everyone stand for the Anthem and keep the BS to a minimum.

They won't be able to find a good enough network to partner with to make it worthwhile.

How about doing away with the football entirely, and just have three hours of the anthem being played, with players standing at reverent attention?

WWE has its own streaming service.
Sounds like McMahon is ready to turn the reigns over to Trips and is looking for a retirement project.

eta: my money would be on e-sports, not XFL pt2

Went to all five home Memphis games when I was in eighth grade. I'm somewhere in this picture.
