The XFL was successfully able to complete its first season, though it would not make it to a second. On Dec. 31, 2023, it was announced that the XFL and rival USFL would merge to create the new UFL.

The XFL would go on to be bought by The Rock in 2020, and merged with the USFL in 2023. As for AEW, the company grew into one of the biggest wrestling companies in the world, and a competitor to WWE.

But when the XFL and the USFL merged, the UFL opted for the USFL's traditional kickoff formation. In the second season of the UFL, the league will use a hybrid of the NFL and the XFL kickoff.
