What Is The Future Of Dwayne Johnson’s XFL?
Dwayne Johnson is no stranger to working with sporting talents. The wrestling champion is currently the owner of the XFL which is a minor football league comprising 8 teams across the United States. But from statistics and reports coming in, the XFL seems to be suffering from poor viewership with a sharp 50% decline from week one to the next week.
While fans of Johnson have empathized with the star’s predicament, others have blamed the quality of football played in the XFL as the main culprit behind its poor ratings. With the possibility of Dwayne Johnson attempting to take on another sporting venture with the soccer club Southend United, the star could now redeem himself as a shrewd businessman and a sports enthusiast by lending his support to the struggling club.
