After months of speculation and rumors, former AEW champion Max Caster made his way into TNA. At TNA Bound For Glory 2026, Caster made his debut for the promotion in an open challenge match against Moose.

However, just seconds into his debut, Caster found himself in a major controversy. Known for his loudmouth on-screen character, Caster entered the match by performing his usual rap shtick. However, his rap became a source of controversy when he referenced the recent attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“Platinum on the mic and I’m Bound for the glory, bro, I’m putting Moose on his knees like a glory hole. And this the firing squad, I drop bombs you don’t even have to fly to Riyadh,” Caster rapped at the TNA Bound For Glory PPV. “I should call you a b*tch. You’re a grown a** man and you talk with a lisp. And when it’s all said, Platinum shining brighter than that bald head,” he further added.

However, the comments were not taken lightly as fans soon started reacting to it. “Damn, this was hard to watch fa real,” wrote one fan. While another person commented, “He mentioned Riyadh and the pop was over, way to fumble Max.” “This might be TNA's way of finishing their relationship with WWE,” wrote another person. Fans brought up the seriousness of the incident and questioned Caster's choice of words. “F**k you Max Do you think it's funny to talk about people who died,” wrote one person.

The recent airport attacks in Riyadh were a serious issue and raised questions about safety regarding the country's airport and airspace. The Iran-backed Houthi group based in Yemen claimed responsibility for earlier attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. A missile strike hit a complex containing domestic flight terminals at King Khalid International Airport in the city on Saturday, resulting in 12 deaths and 309 injuries, as per the Saudi civil aviation authorities.

As of now, neither Caster nor TNA has officially addressed the controversy.
