WWE announced today that Vince McMahon will be making a “major sports” announcement today at 3PM ET. Many are speculating that the announcement will be the re-launch of the XFL in 2020.

The re-launch of the XFL has been rumored for several weeks now but isn’t expected to kick off until 2020. We heard ramblings of a possible announcement earlier this week and it appears that it this could very well be that announcement.

It doesn’t appear that the XFL will be returning to television anytime in the immediate near future.

PWInsider reports that the current plan is to have the league return in 2020. This will give them time to build the proper infrastructures for a proper launch. This would include the hiring of coaches, players and other jobs needed to successfully kick off the league.

When the XFL launched the first time, it was done within a year’s time. It appears Vince McMahon’s Alpha Entertainment wants to make sure all the bases are covered this time around to prevent any disasters.

Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore.

Lawler opens today’s show speaking about WWE’s plans to host shows on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. He says he’s sure they’ll put off some great shows but he feels bad for the guys and girls who have to work on Christmas Day.

Lawler talks about the origins of the term ‘dirt sheet’. He informs that the term ‘dirt sheet’ originated from the fact that the initial news was written on old dirty sheets of paper. He was never a fan of the dirt sheet writers because they profited from exposing people’s private lives.

He adds that nobody in the wrestling business liked Dave Meltzer back in the day. As the years have passed the writers have become more accepted and there are hundreds of people doing it now so there’s no point in singling out Meltzer and hating him.

Lawler says he had a lot of fun working on XFL broadcasts back in the day. He still thinks that the XFL could have worked if Vince McMahon was allowed to run it on his own, without the interference of Dick Ebersol and NBC executives. The XFL needed to be different than the NFL, and McMahon tried to accomplish this by combining the worlds of football and sports entertainment.

Dave Meltzer reported on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that Vince McMahon is re-launching the XFL but not under the parent company of WWE.

WWE has issued a statement saying that Vince McMahon will launch Alpha Entertainment, which will be separate from WWE because the WWE stock would tank if they announced the return of XFL. Vince is using his own money and not WWE’s money. Meltzer explained that Vince is looking at going into sports entertainment and he’s looking at Professional Football.

WWE started trademarking XFL a couple months ago and the announcement is expected to be made sometime next month.

We will keep you updated if we receive more details regarding the re-launch of XFL.
