Clash of Clans WWE Event Runs to October 1 With Five $9.99 Hero Skins
Clash of Clans has started a month-long WWE crossover called Search for Cena, live on Android and iOS from 1 September and ending on 1 October. Supercell is selling five Hero Skins at $9.99 each, staggered across the first ten days of the month, and it says none of them will ever come back.
That last part is the detail worth planning around. The studio's wording is blunt: once the collaboration closes, the Superstars "leave the ring for good", with no re-runs and no second chances. Anyone who skips a skin in September is skipping it permanently.
Every Clash of Clans WWE event skin, price and unlock date
Five skins are paid one-time offers at $9.99 apiece, and each one unlocks on a different day rather than all at once. A sixth is tied to the Gold Pass instead of a separate purchase.
- Cody Rhodes — Barbarian King, $9.99, available 3–30 September
- Alexa Bliss — Archer Queen, $9.99, available 5–30 September
- Iyo Sky — Royal Champion, $9.99, available 7–30 September
- Kane — Dragon Duke, $9.99, available 8–30 September
- American Badass Undertaker — Grand Warden, $9.99, available 10–30 September
- Jey Uso — Minion Prince, included with the September Gold Pass
Spending on all five paid skins comes to $49.95 before the Gold Pass. The Jey Uso Minion Prince skin is the one you cannot buy standalone; it arrives as the season's Gold Pass reward, which is how Supercell has handled crossover hero skins in previous months.
How the John Cena Challenge actually works
The framing is that Cena has hidden his base somewhere in the game. To attack it you need a Challenger Contract, which drops from the event chests that appear through the season. Each contract buys 24 hours of access to the base.
Clearing it needs two stars for the Cody's Callout decoration — that is the bar, not a three-star wipe. Fastest clears also feed a global leaderboard with separate prizes, so there is a reason to push past the two-star minimum if your army composition is already sharp. Base-builder players used to this kind of timed challenge will recognise the format from the other seasonal events in our guide to the best strategy games on Android.
Temporary troops and the rest of the September line-up
Four themed temporary troops rotate through the month, all available from 1 September to 30 September. Housing space matters here because these are heavy units and they will reshape army compositions for the duration:
- Yeti Undertaker — 80 housing space
- K.A.N.E — 75 housing space
- Yeeter — 45 housing space
- Giant Giant — 50 housing space
Two sceneries are attached to the collaboration. The Money in the Bank XL Scenery runs the full 1–30 September window, and a standard Money in the Bank Scenery opens from 2 September. An Action Figure Epic Equipment piece is obtainable from the WWE Chests that drop during the event.
What this costs a free-to-play account
Nothing in the challenge track itself is paywalled. Challenger Contracts come from event chests, the Cody's Callout decoration comes from a two-star clear, and the temporary troops are available to everyone. The $9.99 items are cosmetic Hero Skins, and the leaderboard prizes are tied to clear speed rather than spending.
The practical read for a free account: farm the event chests early in the month so you are not short on contracts, and treat the skins as optional. That said, the never-again wording removes the usual "it will rotate back" safety net, which is exactly what it is designed to do.
Clash of Clans remains a phone-first game and runs on modest hardware, so most of this is reachable even on older handsets — our list of Android games for low-end phones covers what still holds up on 2GB of RAM. If you are collecting cosmetics across several titles this month, the free skins in the Mobile Legends anniversary giveaway cost nothing at all, and our ranked gacha games round-up compares how the other big mobile titles handle limited-time pulls.
When the Clash of Clans WWE event ends
The collaboration closes on 1 October 2026. Every skin, the sceneries and the temporary troops go with it. The last skin to unlock, American Badass Undertaker, gives players a 20-day window from 10 September, which is the tightest of the five.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Clash of Clans WWE event end?
The Search for Cena collaboration ends on 1 October 2026. Every WWE Hero Skin, both Money in the Bank sceneries and the four temporary troops are removed at that point. Supercell has said the skins will not return in any future season.
How much do the Clash of Clans WWE skins cost?
Cody Rhodes, Alexa Bliss, Iyo Sky, Kane and American Badass Undertaker are $9.99 each as one-time offers, which is $49.95 for all five. The Jey Uso Minion Prince skin is not sold separately and comes with the September Gold Pass instead.
How do you find John Cena's base in Clash of Clans?
You need a Challenger Contract, which drops from the event chests that appear during the season. Each contract gives you 24 hours of access to the hidden base. A two-star clear is enough to earn the Cody's Callout decoration, and the fastest clears are ranked on a global leaderboard.
Do you have to pay to take part in the WWE event?
No. The Challenger Contracts, the Cody's Callout decoration, the four temporary troops and the WWE Chests are available to free players. Only the Hero Skins and the Gold Pass cost money, and they are cosmetic.
Which platforms is the Clash of Clans WWE event on?
It is live in Clash of Clans on both Android and iOS, since the game runs the same live-service season across both stores. There is no separate console or PC version of the event.
