TNA Wrestling releases Max Caster following controversial rap

TNA Wrestling has officially severed ties with Max Caster following controversial remarks made during the Bound for Glory pay-per-view event. Reports indicate that TNA President Carlos Silva made the decision to release Caster after significant social media backlash regarding a rap performed by the wrestler that included jokes about Riyadh being bombed.

While Caster was reportedly granted creative freedom for his entrance, critics and industry personalities have questioned TNA’s due diligence. Commentators noted that because TNA maintains a partnership with Saudi Arabia, the content of the rap was particularly ill-advised. Caster has since issued an apology for the incident.
