XFL Select is your home for content on the spring football league, founded in 2000 but restarting twice since then. The latest iteration of the XFL is starting in February 2023, led by investor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The Brahmas are names o because it was The Rock’s wrestling nickname.
The XFL is a professional American football league that has existed twice, with the first iteration playing one season in 2001 and the second relaunching in 2020. The original XFL was founded by Vince McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and NBC and aimed to offer a more radical, in-your-face style of football, with rule changes and a focus on player personalities. However, the league was criticized for its low-quality play and controversial decisions, leading to low ratings and its eventual folding. The 2020 reboot attempted to offer a unique brand of football, with changes to traditional rules, player safety improvements, and a faster-paced game. Despite initial interest, the league faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was suspended in 2021.
