Max Caster has apologized to TNA president Carlos Silva and the company’s office after TNA cut ties with him over his Bound for Glory entrance rap, which referenced the deadly attacks in Riyadh.
Caster posted a video on X and Instagram on Tuesday.
“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 how things have ended up.”
Caster said he would not apologize to people who were offended by the rap itself.
“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’m just embarrassed how all this happened. It’s, you know, you don’t want it to be one match and then that’s it and get fired. But again, that’s the reality of the situation. I’m accepting it and that’s life.”

During his entrance at Bound for Glory on Sunday in Tampa, Caster rapped, “I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh,” a day after a deadly missile attack on the city’s main airport. TNA apologized in a statement on X, saying “making light of violent attacks is wrong” and that Caster “will no longer be wrestling for TNA.” The company also removed the rap from its social media and replays.
