TNA Wrestling reportedly plans to stop working with Max Caster following his debut at Bound For Glory 2026.
The decision came after an unscripted line referencing Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, drew public criticism.
According to False Finish, the company will no longer work with the former AEW performer. The report emerged after Caster lost to Moose at the pay-per-view event.
Caster's pre-match rap included a line connecting bomb imagery with Riyadh, the location of recent Houthi missile and projectile attacks on King Khalid International Airport, according to the source article.
TNA removed video clips of Caster's promotional performance from its social media accounts following the backlash.
False Finish then reported that the incident prompted a decision to end the working relationship.
False Finish cited sources confirming the company's plans. The outlet reported that the line raised eyebrows both within TNA and among its partners globally.
The Riyadh reference raised concerns beyond TNA itself, extending to its global partners, according to the report.
Differing Reports on Caster's Status
Fightful also reported that Caster faced internal criticism just one day after his debut.
Its account described the line as unscripted and unapproved, with possible consequences for his scheduled appearances.
Fightful reported that sources described dissatisfaction among TNA executives and uncertainty surrounding Caster's future. The outlet noted that upcoming taping plans could be affected.
The two reports differ in how definitively they describe the outcome. False Finish said TNA would no longer work with Caster, while Fightful described his future as uncertain.
Caster, a former AEW performer and AEW World Tag Team Champion, made his TNA debut against Moose at Bound For Glory 2026.
He lost the match after Moose hit him with a spear.
