Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney celebrated with wide eyes that were tinted with sparkles of disbelief and euphoria as Wrexham AFC attained its first major win. This, if further equipped with more winning matches, would result in automatic promotion to the Premier League. One could say that it was the money and fame that Reynolds and McElhenney brought to the club that made it bounce out of its extended slum. However, the real gift that the club owners have bestowed upon the Welsh club is that of storytelling.

One of the major reasons behind the interest in the club, even by those who were not interested in soccer, was the Welcome to Wrexham docuseries released in 2022. Not only did it showcase how original and entertaining sports docuseries are made, but it made everyone root for the club. Although the club had no notable achievements then, with one match, Ryan Reynolds may be able to give Welcome to Wrexham’s upcoming season a Hollywood ending.
