Yemen’s Iran‑backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the airport attack, raising regional tensions and prompting a U.S. energy ceasefire announcement between Russia and Ukraine.

Professional wrestler Max Caster referenced the Riyadh attack in a rap lyric during his TNA debut match at Bound for Glory, saying “… And it’s the firing squad. I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh.”

Social media users condemned the remark as insensitive, prompting immediate backlash.

TNA issued a statement on Monday confirming that it removed all Caster‑related content from its platforms and announced that Caster would no longer wrestle for the promotion.

“During Sunday’s Bound for Glory pay‑per‑view, insensitive comments were made by Max Caster referencing attacks in Riyadh that killed and injured many people,” the company said. “Making light of violent attacks is wrong. This should never have made it into the show, and that responsibility is ours. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected. We sincerely apologize.”

The statement added that the segment had been removed from replays and that Caster would be excluded from future events.

OutKick reached out to Caster for comment, but no response was received.

Ryan Gaydos, senior editor for Fox News Digital, reported the story.
