TNA has deleted its X post of Max Caster’s Bound for Glory entrance rap, which drew backlash for a line referencing Riyadh a day after a deadly attack on the city’s main airport.
The post, shared by TNA’s official X account during Sunday’s show, now returns X’s “this page doesn’t exist” message. During the rap before his match with Moose, Caster said:
“I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh.”
As of this writing, neither TNA nor Caster has commented publicly. The match is still listed on TNA’s Bound for Glory results page, which shows Moose beating Caster.
Ali Al-Marafi, chairman of Qatar Pro Wrestling, criticized the line on X:
“What occurred in this video whether with the company’s knowledge or without it is unacceptable and appalling.”

Fans also criticized the line in replies to TNA’s post before it was deleted, with some calling on TNA to fire Caster, as WrestlingNews.co reported earlier Monday.
The Saturday strike on King Khalid International Airport killed 12 people and wounded more than 300, Saudi authorities said. The toll rose to 13 on Sunday. Another strike hit the airport Sunday night, killing one person and injuring 11, according to Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority.
Caster made his TNA debut Sunday at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, answering Moose’s open challenge. Moose won with a spear. It was Caster’s first match since his AEW contract expired on October 1.Â
