TNA Ends Max Caster Partnership After Bound For Glory Promo

TNA Wrestling has ended its working relationship with Max Caster after the former AEW star faced backlash over remarks made during his Bound For Glory 2026 debut in a match against Moose. The decision followed criticism of a pre-match rap reference involving Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Caster made his TNA debut in a losing effort against Moose during the event, where he delivered an entrance freestyle before the match. TNA later removed video clips of the promo from its social media platforms after receiving public criticism.

According to NoDQ.com, Caster's rap included a line referencing bombs and travel to Riyadh, referring to recent Houthi missile and projectile attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia. The report said the remarks led to backlash directed at TNA.

Sources cited by False Finish reported that TNA would no longer work with Caster after the incident.

"Sources tell False Finish that TNA will no longer be working with Max Caster. Caster’s freestyle included a line about him dropping bombs and not having to fly to Riyadh. The line raised eyebrows both within TNA and its partners globally." False Finish reported.

The statement from False Finish said the comments affected reactions within TNA and among its international partners. The report also noted that the promotion removed all videos of the promo following the controversy.

During the match at Bound For Glory 2026, Moose defeated Caster before raising his opponent's hand after the bout. The match marked Caster's first appearance for TNA Wrestling after his time with All Elite Wrestling.

Caster's entrance performance was the focus of the response after he said, "I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh." Caster said during his pre-match rap promo.
