Buys XFL In $15 Mil Deal

FINALLY, THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO ... PRO FOOTBALL!?

The WWE legend just teamed up with an investment group to snatch up Vince McMahon's XFL league for $15 million, according to Sportico.

The league had filed for bankruptcy after being resurrected for the 2020 season -- and was supposed to be auctioned off to highest bidder.

But according to Sportico, The Rock (real name Dwayne Johnson) and his partners at RedBird Capital swooped in and bought it up this weekend before it hit the auction block.

The Rock and RedBird are reportedly 50/50 partners in the deal.
