The XFL kicked off their first week of football in this rendition of the league. It got positive reviews and ratings from fans and athletes alike as they witnessed their favorite XFL teams go head-to-head for the first time in three years. We saw incredible comebacks, last-second finishes, and many signs that this league is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
Not only athletes, but popular media outlets got in on giving their takes on the league.
The league’s positive reviews are certainly a huge sign for the future of this alternative football league. They’ll have a strong headstart on the USFL, who don’t begin competition for almost another two months.
We’ll see if Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and company can keep rolling with this strong start next week. But we can safely say the launch of the XFL seems to be a huge success.
