The Rock Teams Up With His Business Partner Dany Garcia And RedBird Capital Partners To Buy The XFL For $15 Million

Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

The Rock is making a $15 million investment in the ownership of XFL, an American football league.

XFL was initially owned by WWE owner Vince McMahon, where The Rock began his very successful wrestling career. As a result of the pandemic, the XFL was going out of business, leaving Vince McMahon to look for a potential buyer, and The Rock has stepped in to become its new owner.

The Rock has gone from one of the most beloved WWE Superstars of all-time to a box-office sensation and one of the highest-paid actors of the 21st century, alongside his business partner and ex-wife, Dany Garcia. According to The Source, the two have decided to collaborate with Gerry Cardinale, the founder of RedBird Capital Partners, LLC. to invest $15 million to buy the league.

I’ll start this post with a heartfelt & excited, THANK YOU for the incredible responses I’ve been seeing from you all day. With my trail blazing partner @DanyGarciaCo & RedBird Capital’s Gerry Cardinale – we have acquired the XFL. With gratitude & passion I’ve built a career with my own two hands and will apply these callouses to building our @xfl brand to create something special for the fans. My dreams of playing professional football never came true, however – this passion venture allows me to create opportunities for other players to showcase their talents, take care of their families and make their own dreams come true. Now, my partners and I go to work – for the love of football. #XFL #Owner #FullCircle
