“Big bad Platinum coming to your town. Oh, you didn’t know? I’m TNA bound. Bound for the what? I’m a Glory hound. Answering the call, putting Moose underground.”

TNA has not said whether Caster has signed with the company or will appear after Sunday. It will be his first match anywhere in three months.
Caster and his former Acclaimed partner Anthony Bowens became free agents when their AEW contracts expired on October 1. The two won the AEW World Tag Team Championship together. Bowens has shot down the idea of the team ever reuniting.
