XFL 2

In 2025, the (third) iteration of the XFL folded when WWE chairman Vince McMahon died of a heart attack; Dwayne Johnson would be his successor. Two years later, a diehard football fan named Joe Orsini (along with some friends [also football fans]) created a new league that would last from the week after the Super Bowl until the first week of June, with the playoffs beginning the following week and culminating with the Bronze Bowl on the first week in July; the name of the league: XFL 2. Orsini would be named the league's first commissioner and its headquarters would be based in Cleveland, Ohio. 32 teams would be in the inaugural season; they would be in two conferences of two divisions of eight teams each.

Each team's regular season schedule would have 12 games with four bye weeks. The playoffs would have the top four teams in each division playing for a division championship; each division champion would be awarded a trophy, which would be named after a villainous team from the Pokémon games:
Northeast Division: Rocket Trophy
Southeast Division: Aqua Trophy
Northwest Division: Magma Trophy
Southwest Division: Galactic Trophy
The division champions would then play for a spot in the conference championship; like the division champions, they too would be awarded a trophy named after a villainous team from the Pokémon games:

Western Conference: Flare Trophy
The conference champions would play in the Bronze Bowl, which would take place every year at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida; the winner of the Bronze Bowl would be awarded the Skull Trophy. The Bronze Bowl MVP would be awarded the Yell Trophy. On the week following the Bronze Bowl, an All-Star game would be played, with players for each conference being chosen by the fans via the league's app on their phone or tablet, via the XFL 2 website on their computer; the XFL 2 All-Star Game would be played every year at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. The winning conference would get $10,000,000, with all of its players getting a bonus of $1,000,000, and all of its staff receiving a bonus of $100,000; the MVP of the XFL 2 All-Star Game would be awarded the Star Trophy.
