Max Caster’s comments about Riyadh at TNA Bound For Glory called “unacceptable and appalling”

At TNA Bound for Glory 2026, former AEW star Max Caster made his TNA Wrestling debut in a losing effort to Moose. Caster stated during his pre-match rap promo, “I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh.” The line was a reference to the recent Houthi missile/projectile attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Ali Al-Marafi, founder and chairman of Qatar wrestling promotion QPW, called out Caster with the following message via Twitter/X…

“What occurred in this video whether with the company’s knowledge or without it is unacceptable and appalling. What if these words had been directed at the events of 9/11?
