The original XFL was a joint venture between WWE and NBC, whom at the time, didn't have any NFL Broadcast Rights.

Finding a broadcast partner, when NFL ratings have seen a downturn recently, isn't going to be easy.

McMahon has stated that "We want someone who does not have any criminality associated with them whatsoever. In the XFL, even if you have a DUI, you will not play in the XFL," McMahon said. "If Tim Tebow wants to play, he could very well play.", which will make it much more difficult to find a talent pool, especially since the NFL expanded their Practice Squads to 10 from 8.

I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL countered by allowing more PS players and expanding the Game Day roster.
I wonder if they'd put the games on the WWE network.
