The commercial included a speaker who said, “This is the USFL reincarnated from the OGs.

The promo ends with former NFL star and TV personality Michael Strahan saying, “You better recognize the real thing.”

It’s not hard to see how that could be perceived as an insult to rock, and fans online were quick to point it out.

One fan wrote, “Wow I’m taking a shot at the XFL and The Rock.”

Another said: “No way did the USFL commercial just say ‘Real Football Returns’ you must be kidding me.”

And another wrote: “The USFL needs to relax with this ‘real football is back’ stuff.”

Some fans loved the commercial and took shots at the former WWE star.

This fan wrote, “The USFL’s marketing is next level.”

Another declared, “The USFL will not fail.”

It’s no secret that both leagues are rivals as they seek to catch the eyes of millions with spring football.

The USFL will return for its season on April 15 while the XFL is in week six of its season.

Both leagues struggle to generate views and this feud could help garner attention.
