TNA Wrestling bans Max Caster after rap references Riyadh attack

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has banned professional wrestler Max Caster after he referenced a deadly attack on an airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during his entrance rap. Fox News reported that the incident occurred during Caster's promotional debut match against Moose at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view event. Fox News and Wrestling News Co both report that the promotion deleted social media clips of the rap following backlash over the comments. [1][3]

Caster, who previously had a run with All Elite Wrestling, is known for performing rap songs during his entrances to the ring. Fox News reported that Caster appeared set to become a regular member of the TNA roster before the company decided to ban him and remove all related content from its social media channels. [1]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Nashville, Tennessee, and is a subsidiary of Anthem Sports and Entertainment. The disciplinary action against Caster followed his references to a strike on Saudi Arabia's capital city. [1][4]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, a Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 12 people and injured 309 others shortly before the World Petroleum Council Energy Congress opened in the city on October 11, 2026. [7]
