The former wrestling star's plans will have new cities and teams enter the league in the future.

And XFL team rosters will be expanded from 51 to 90 players during the offseason.

The XFL projects to receive $100million in the next season, and Johnson is assuring to "play the long game" despite unimpressive numbers in 2023.

He tweeted: "I play the long game in business and XFL is no exception.

"We saw some nice successes and took some L’s in our first season that we learn from.

"75-100 XFL players will be competing in NFL camps this fall. That’s a big number that will continue to grow season over season.

"We’re in it for the long haul. Step by step building the league of opportunity.

"Like with any venture, success takes time. Thanks XFL fans for the love & support."

Still, Johnson's projected net worth of $800million is at risk of decline.
