Update on Vince McMahon Possibly Reviving the XFL

In an update on our previous article about WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon possibly thinking about reviving the XFL football league that he originally launched back in 2001, a freelance writer by the name of David Bixenspan posted the following on Twitter, which includes a statement that Bixenspan claims was sent to him by a WWE spokesperson:

A WWE spokesperson issued the attached statement to me & @Deadspin in response to my inquiry about tonight's rumors of a soon to be announced XFL revival. They declined further comment. Whatever Vince McMahon's "Alpha Entertainment" is, it's self-funded & separate from WWE. pic.twitter.com/oT0Oxyi2fV

In what I’m sure is a complete coincidence, WWE filed for two new XFL trademarks this year, both long after the 30 for 30 premiered.
