XFL
McMahon's pigskin league
The XFL is a professional American football league that has launched twice—first in 2001 as a joint venture between the WWE and NBC, lasting one season, then relaunched in 2020 before the pandemic suspended play.
The name suggests extreme football, positioning itself as an edgier alternative to the NFL with different rules and a spring schedule.
