Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s (TNA) pay-per-view Bound for Glory was an exhilarating ride that saw multiple championships change hands, including the world championship in the main event.
One moment, however, left the company with a bitter taste in its mouth.

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

Caster got immediate backlash on social media for the mention.
On Monday, TNA said it deleted everything related to Caster from its social media and will no longer welcome Caster at its company.
“During Sunday’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view, insensitive comments were made by Max Caster referencing attacks in Riyadh that killed and injured many people,” the company said in a statement. “Making light of violent attacks is wrong. This should never have made it into the show, and that responsibility is ours. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected. We sincerely apologize.
“We have removed the segment from replays and our social channels and are taking steps to ensure something like this never happens again. Max Caster will no longer be wrestling in TNA.”
OutKick Dropkick reached out to Caster for comment.
