The XFL kicked off its inaugural season under new ownership this Saturday and has gotten off to a rousing start.
The Arlington Renegades and Vegas Vipers were the first teams off the mark as the action began this Saturday, with the Renegades rallying back from a deficit to win 22-20. The Orlando Guardians lost to the Houston Roughnecks with a 33-12 reverse in the contest that followed.
