Starting from the ground up is always a challenging task. To handle the reins of one machine whose gears have stayed clogged for years and expect it to churn like fine oil does not feel very plausible. However, it is precisely what Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have done with Wrexham AFC. Following a $2.5 million takeover of the Welsh football team, the Hollywood duo have leaped great strides in the span of a mere two years while attracting attention from celebrities such as Mike Tyson. 

Once again going against popular belief, Reynolds instead of showering Tyson with love for acknowledging Wrexham AFC has chosen to lock horns with him. 

It is a Ryan Reynolds versus Tyson Fury showdown

The Canadian poster boy of Hollywood has the innate ability to outsmart any with his wits. However, as much acquainted as he may be with superhero fighting styles, it would indeed be quite a task to take upon the British boxer. In his latest Instagram story, Ryan Reynolds called out Tyson Fury with a cheeky poster. It depicted the bruised actor against a gritted Fury as the footer highlighted Wrexham AFC taking on rivals, Morecambe on 25th November. 

The reason for the slapstick is a fun callback with the boxing legend who had unleashed his plans for this very match. In his appearance on the RobRyanRed podcast, Fury opined, “I am gonna call out Ryan Reynolds” when asked if he was coming down for the match. The boxer who has defeated big names such as Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder was once keen on acquiring Morecambe before backing out. Regardless, whether he does come down to Racecourse Ground and calls out Reynolds remains to be seen.

On its own, Wrexham has achieved great heights ever since its Hollywood takeover and it does not show any signs of slowing down.

Wrexham AFC may look to add more teeth to their force this transfer season

Following their dream takeover, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have splurged an additional $12 million on improving the amenities for Wrexham AFC. The results to which have come forth as more than fruitful. Thanks to better players and training, the team won an automatic promotion to EFL’s League Two following their National League win in the 2022-2023 season. Moreover, thanks to a US Tour and boosted morale, they achieved their highest in fifteen long years.

Continuing the wins, the co-owners may look to invest even further in the upcoming January transfer season. Additionally, with Championship Teams eying Wrexham players, it is high time for the Hollywood duo to rake up their arsenal. Meanwhile, thanks to their continued good performance, the club is once again likely to get itself promoted automatically.
