The Deadpool star and Always Sunny co-creator purchased a stake in Club Necaxa, the century-old Mexican soccer team that already boasts Eva Longoria as one of its owners. Variety reports that investors hope bringing the duo into the fold will help grow the club’s profile in international play. Reynolds and McElhenney’s process of creating a Cinderella story out of a team that was “mismanaged to the point of near collapse” was widely documented on FX’s Emmy-winning docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, the third season of which is set to premiere this week.

This will be the NBCUniversal streamer’s second price hike in two years in an attempt to herd viewers to a centralized location for watching all things swimming and gymnastics this summer.
