TNA Wrestling Releases Statement Regarding Max Caster Rap - Fightful
TNA removed Caster’s debut footage after his unscripted rap about bombs and Riyadh drew backlash from executives and partners, sources said.
- On Monday, TNA Wrestling removed all footage and photos of Max Caster from social media following his Bound for Glory debut, as sources report the promotion will not work with the former AEW star again.
- During his entrance at Bound for Glory, Caster performed an unscripted freestyle referencing bombings in Riyadh, including the line "This the firing squad, I drop bombs, you don't even have to fly to Riyadh."
- Fightful Select reported the remark was neither scripted nor approved by TNA executives, who grew unhappy with the unapproved reference to Riyadh bombings amid heightened regional tensions.
- TNA's working relationship with WWE, scheduled to hold Crown Jewel in Riyadh on November 7, adds corporate sensitivity, especially after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launched attacks on a Riyadh airport.
- It remains unclear whether Caster was under contract or worked Bound for Glory on a one-night agreement, though reports indicate TNA has closed the door on future appearances for the former AEW Tag Team Champion.
