The deal is official closed and “the keys” to the XFL have been handed over. I humbly accept and promise to put my callouses to hard work building our new brand.

The Rock, his business partner Dany Garcia and RedBird Capital Partners bought the XFL for $15 million earlier this month.

There was initially opposition to the sale in court by the XFL’s creditors, but at a hearing earlier this month, the creditors were satisfied with the terms of a modified agreement for the league’s purchase and dropped their opposition, so the deal was allowed to go through.
