In a groundbreaking partnership, Clash of Clans is collaborating with WWE to reimagine some of the game’s beloved characters as fan-favorite wrestlers. This innovative alliance, announced by Supercell, aims to bring a fresh dynamic to the popular mobile game.
Many WWE superstars have expressed an enthusiastic interest in Clash of Clans over the years. In fact, during a 2021 podcast episode of The New Day: Feel the Power, John Cena shared his passion for the game. His enthusiasm even inspired his co-stars, including Roman Reigns, to engage in significant Clan Wars. Additionally, wrestlers like Cody Rhodes, Tyler Breeze, and Xavier Woods have collaborated in the same clan, showcasing the deep-rooted connection between the WWE universe and Clash of Clans.
Taking advantage of this connection, Supercell invites players to embrace a host of WWE characters, including Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, The Undertaker, and Bianca Belair. These stars will be creatively reinterpreted as popular game characters, including the Archer Queen, Barbarian King, and Grand Warden. This thrilling crossover is set to commence on April 1 and will last for the entire month.

In a further celebration of this union, Supercell is also set to sponsor WrestleMania 41, scheduled for April 19 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Reflecting on this collaboration, Cody Rhodes, a long-time gamer, humorously noted that while he has established a formidable WWE legacy, many of his victories have stemmed from his strategic gameplay in Clash of Clans. “As OverlordRhodes, I don’t defend, I conquer,”he remarked, alluding to his in-game persona and a new promotional video featuring him.
