Max Caster has spoken out after TNA Wrestling ended its association with him following just one match.

The former AEW star made his TNA debut at Bound for Glory 2026, where he lost to Moose. However, a line from his entrance rap drew attention away from his performance.

“I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh.”

The comment referenced recent missile and projectile attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. TNA subsequently apologised for the remark and announced that it would no longer work with Caster.

Addressing the fallout in an Instagram video, Caster apologised to TNA president Carlos Silva, the company’s office and those who helped him secure the appearance.

“Just to address all the TNA stuff, I want to say thank you to Carlos Silva. I talked to him in person. He was very generous, very professional, even after all this stuff happened. And I understand why he did what he did. It’s his show. He’s got to protect TNA, and I went too far for him.

“So I want to apologize to him and everybody else in the office. I want to apologize to anyone who vouched for me to get that spot. I feel like I let those people down. Thank you to Moose for sharing your platform with me, and I wish things didn’t turn out the way they did. But I’m proud of that match, and I’m sorry for how things have ended up.”

Caster also addressed viewers who were offended, saying his raps are intended to entertain. However, he stopped short of apologising for the offence caused.

“And then, for anybody who’s offended, I just want everybody to know that when I do these raps, it’s never to offend people. It’s only to entertain. So, in my mind, it’s entertainment value first, and then, if you’re offended by it, that’s your right. So I can’t apologize for anyone being offended, but just know that it’s not my intention to make people upset.

“If it gets a reaction, I think I did my job. It was a very relevant part of the show and highly talked about, so I feel good about that. But the consequences of everything, I’m accepting that. I can accept the facts of that.”

While Caster admitted he was embarrassed by the way his brief TNA run ended, he reassured supporters that he was doing well and was ready to move forward.

“And then, to anybody who is asking if I’m good, I’m good. I’m just embarrassed about how all this happened. You don’t want it to be one match and then that’s it, you get fired. But again, that’s the reality of the situation. I’m accepting it, and that’s life.

“And in life, sometimes you gotta man up and just accept it and move on. So whatever’s next, I don’t know, but we’ll see. Thank you to everybody who’s reaching out and supporting.”
