I am not sure about this but these are my current thoughts. X.org is an implementation of the X11 protocol and X11 is just a protocol and not a piece of software. My question is that is Wayland a completely new protocol that aims to completely replace X11 or is it supposed to replace X.org and implement X11? I am relatively new to display managers and WMs so I may need to clear some misconceptions!

1Note that Wayland is a new protocol for that aims to solve a different problem than the X protocol. See this question. – Johan Myréen Sep 04 '20 at 04:28
