WWE has slammed its way into Clash of Clans and Cody Rhodes looks very different (Picture: Supercell)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cody Rhodes is leading the charge for WWE<\/a> in Clash of Clans with a very different look.<\/p>\n

The current Undisputed WWE Champion<\/a>, who will defend his title against John Cena<\/a> in the main event of WrestleMania 41 later this month, is one of eight wrestling superstars reimagined as iconic characters in Supercell’s hit game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although his WWE look is iconic, the typically clean cut American Nightmare has become a bearded Barbarian King for his in-game avatar.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019ve spent years building my legacy in WWE, but it\u2019s time for fans to know where I\u2019ve landed most of my victories, in Clash of Clans,’ said the avid gamer.<\/p>\n

‘As OverlordRhodes, I don\u2019t defend, I conquer. Villages will fall, and any opposition will be crushed under my command. This isn\u2019t about playing fair in the ring, it\u2019s about ruling the battlefield.<\/p>\n

‘Just like at WrestleMania 41, I\u2019m stepping in with one goal \u2013 absolute victory. I\u2019ve waited a long time for this moment, and now that I’ve arrived, there\u2019s no stopping me.’<\/p>\n

was a no-brainer to get him involved.<\/p>\n<p>However, it’s a far cry from his heroic persona in the wrestling ring, as his gameplay style is built more on ‘villainous destruction and domination’.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Bach, Head of Live Games at Supercell, said: ‘When the game team found out Cody Rhodes and other Superstars were long-time Clash of Clans fans, they didn\u2019t hesitate to reach out to WWE.’<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"364\"
