Professional wrestler Max Caster made his TNA debut in a match against Moose. This was his first match after performing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and it looked like he was going to be a mainstay on the roster. Caster, known for performing a rap song during his ring entrance, brought the rhymes with him.
In one of his words, Caster referred to the attack this weekend at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which left more than a dozen dead. The Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, further raising tensions in the Middle East.
“…And it’s the firing squad. I’m dropping bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh,” he said.

Caster received immediate backlash on social media for this mention.
On Monday, TNA said it had removed everything related to Caster from its social media and would no longer welcome Caster into its company.
“During Sunday’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view, insensitive comments were made by Max Caster referencing the attacks in Riyadh that killed and injured numerous people,” the company said in a statement. “Making light on the violent attacks is wrong. This should never have been on the show, and that responsibility falls to us. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and everyone affected. We sincerely apologize.
“We have removed the segment from replays and our social media channels and are taking steps to ensure something like this never happens again. Max Caster will no longer wrestle in TNA.”
