Darth Vader Mocking WWE and Cody Rhodes for Losing to John Cena in Fortnite Was Not on My Bingo Card

If you weren’t playing Fortnite during the recent weekend, you missed out on some funny stuff. The new AI Darth Vader has quickly turned from ominous Sith Lord to meme king, and no one, not even WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, has been spared. Epic Games might’ve planned something for AI Vader, but fans have gone wild.

Just weeks after John Cena claimed his 17th world title by defeating Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, AI Vader in Fortnite has begun to make some pretty funny comments about it. No one expected Vader to be this petty. And yet, here we are. Go check out the new feature if you haven’t.

Darth Vader is wreaking havoc in Fortnite, and not even Cody Rhodes is spared

The Darth Vader AI feature was added to Fortnite last week as part of the new Star Wars mini-season. It uses voice tech to let players chat with the Sith Lord in real-time. Epic Games couldn’t have predicted just how creative fans are. From making Vader say borderline offensive comments to having him comment on WWE storylines, the chaos is everywhere.

One of the funniest and surprising ones has been the clip of Vader talking to a player wearing the Cody Rhodes skin. With Vader saying things like, “Cody Rhodes, your story as you call it, has concluded,” and “This obsession with championships and John Cena… I sense a lack of focus.” Vader continues to mess with Rhodes for losing to Cena in what he mockingly called a “childish arena.”

Just think of it, Cody Rhodes getting roasted in-universe by one of the most iconic villains ever. It’s so unexpected that it’s hilarious. To make matters even more bizarre, this shade from Vader comes mere weeks after WrestleMania 41’s stunning main event, where John Cena turned heel and won his record-breaking 17th world title by defeating Rhodes.

Ai Darth Vader in Fortnite ain’t lasting

Of course, Epic Games has precautions in place, including

’s safety tools and Epic’s own custom moderation layers. But still, the AI version of Vader has already gone rogue. There are already clips of him saying some unhinged stuff, and he’s even swearing in-game.

This brings up the increasingly growing concern about AI in media

The technology behind this feature is impressive, but has also become deeply controversial. Using the voice of James Earl Jones, who passed away in 2024, Epic recreated Vader’s legendary tone with ElevenLabs’ Flash v2.5. We already know that Jones and his family gave permission for his voice to live on in this way, but the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA has filed an unfair labor complaint.

They argue Epic used AI without properly negotiating terms with performers who had previously portrayed Vader in games, effectively cutting actors out of the loop. They

, “We must protect our right to bargain terms and conditions around uses of voice that replace the work of our members.” The situation really brings us to a ******* discussion of AI in media.

We’re now at the point where fictional characters are being reprogrammed to comment on real-world sports entertainment outcomes, in real-time, through video games. It’s surreal, entertaining, and at times unsettling. Of course, it’s not just limited to video games; we’re seeing it everywhere. For now, though, Cody Rhodes needs to get John Cena out of his head and win in Fortnite.
