A Johnny Manziel and Vince McMahon team-up coming in 2020? Thanks to the return of the XFL, these fever dreams may now be a reality.
Manziel along with a other former players led the charge of reacting, showing support or applying for a job on social media following the big XFL announcement today.
Also despite, Vince McMahon repeatedly saying the WWE and XFL would have no connection, all the WWE social media feeds and plenty of wrestlers chimed in about the return of the long assumed dead pro football league.
