In a recent press release, it was announced that the Orlando Predators would not be competing in the Arena Football One league in 2025. Billings Outlaws owner, Steven Titus, reassured fans that the league is on solid footing despite this setback. Titus, along with other league officials, traveled to Tampa, Florida for the AF1 Kickoff event to meet with professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who is the co-founder of Real American Beer, the league’s official beer for the upcoming season.
The Predators’ membership termination came after the franchise decided not to compete in the inaugural season of AF1, citing potential ownership changes. Titus expressed disappointment and frustration over the situation, mentioning possible legal action against the Predators for violating their agreement with the league.
Despite the changes in the schedule due to the Predators’ withdrawal, the Outlaws are gearing up for the season opener against the Washington Wolfpack. Titus expressed confidence in Coach Cedric Walker and the team’s prospects for another championship run. Additionally, there are nine teams slated to compete in AF1 in 2025, including the Outlaws and Wolfpack.
Fans can expect potential visits from Hulk Hogan at Outlaws games, thanks to the partnership with Real American Beer. Titus emphasized the positive aspects of the league and the excitement for the upcoming season.
