14 dead after Houthis strike Saudi airport
Former NSC Chief of Staff Alex Gray discusses President Donald Trump’s reaction to Houthi attacks on a Saudi Arabian airport and comments on Trump’s proposal for an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s (TNA) pay-per-view event, Bound for Glory, was quite a thrill, with various championships changing hands, including the world title in the main event. But, there was one particular moment that left the organization feeling rather uneasy.

Wrestler Max Caster made his TNA debut against Moose, which marked his first match after previously performing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It seemed like he was set to become a regular part of the roster. Known for his rapping skills, Caster incorporated them into his entrance.
In one of his lines, he referenced the recent attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in over a dozen fatalities. The Iran-backed Houthis took responsibility for the incident, further escalating tensions in the region.
… “And it’s the firing squad. I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh,” he rapped.

Caster faced immediate backlash online for his comments.
On Monday, TNA announced that they had erased all content related to Caster from their social media channels and that he would no longer be associated with the company.
“During Sunday’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view, insensitive remarks were made by Max Caster regarding attacks in Riyadh that resulted in loss of life and injuries,” the organization stated. “Making light of such violent incidents is unacceptable. This wording should not have been included in the show, and we take full responsibility. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone impacted. We sincerely apologize.”
“We have removed this segment from future broadcasts and our social media and are taking measures to ensure such an occurrence does not happen again. Max Caster will no longer be wrestling in TNA.”
OutKick Dropkick also attempted to reach out to Caster for a response.
