John Cena says that Clash of Clans was a popular game in the WWE locker room in the mid-2010s. Cena spoke with Sports Illustrated for a new interview about his appearance in the new Brawl Stars ad and you can see a couple of highlights below:

On playing Clash of Clans in WWE: “There were probably about 15 of us that were on the team. We were under the top 150 in the world, and it was all at the time we were playing. It was all WWE superstars. So it was really cool that we were hiding in plain sight.”

On appearing alongside SpongeBob Squarepants in the Brawl Stars ad: “On the surface, it does seem random, but there is definitely a connection with all three prongs of the trident. I think between SpongeBob and myself, who provide the meme universe with full ammunition clips any day, all day. So the fact that SpongeBob’s talked about on social media about every four seconds and he’s responsible for his fair share amount of memes, I think I’m right up there with him.”
