Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gave a huge XFL update at the end of 2023. Johnson’s football league will merge with the USFL to establish the UFL. Many stars, including former Patriot Tom Brady, congratulated Johnson on this historic union.
Tom Brady posted a tape applauding the merging team after Johnson and Dany Garcia’s announcement went viral. He said that this is wonderful news for football. Johnson answered, “Thank you, my brother,” seeing this message. Once again, you’re the best.(G.O.A.T)” Brady has influenced American football, according to longtime supporters.
Like The Brahma Bull, he has contributed to pro wrestling. Johnson identified Brady by his football fans’ adoration. United Football League season 1 begins March 30, 2024.
Johnson said he made this step to revolutionize spring football. Both XFL and USFL had terrible periods, he said. This merger aims to mainstream minor leagues and make them competitive with the NFL.
Johnson and Dany Garcia announced the merger on Fox NFL Sundays on December 31. While the two largely discussed the decision’s motivation, how the two leagues will now work is becoming clear. Russ Brandon, XFL’s previous president and CEO, will become president and CEO, sources sаy. He will be with former USFL President of Football Operations Daryl Johnston. Johnston will manage UFL football while Brandon leads the league.
The league has not announced its signings. The inaugural match, on March 30, 2024, will feature XFL’s Arlington Renegades against USFL’s Birmingham Stallions.
The fact that both clubs were 2023 winners of their now-defunct leagues is more intriguing. Fans may expect an interesting matchup between the two champs.
