Vince McMahon is preparing to launch the XFL in 2020.
In case you didn’t know
Vince McMahon has always wanted to be the king of the world. After buying WCW in 2001, Vince McMahon launched his own football league called XFL the same year.
The Extreme Football League was meant to rival the NFL. In 2001, It was a joint venture between NBC and WWE. Essentially, the league had no franchise owners and was a single entity league.
The league ended being a failure with heavy losses for WWE. The ratings were abysmal, to say the least with critics that the league’s fundamentals just didn’t work.
But Vince McMahon never gives up. In late 2017, Vince McMahon sold a large chunk of WWE stock to form Alpha Entertainment. In January 2018, Alpha Entertainment announced that the XFL would return.

The report goes more into depth but it does highlight
It does seem likely that Vince McMahon is not going anywhere. Vince McMahon may be 73 but he’s not ready to leave WWE any time soon.
What’s next?
Vince Mcmahon plans to launch the XFL in 2020. In the meantime, WrestleMania 35 will be held on April 07, 2019 with Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair headlining the show of shows.
