At yesterday’s ACW: Mischief Night II event in Poughkeepsie, New York, former AEW star Max Caster announced that he will be taking a break from professional wrestling following a turbulent week which saw him getting fired from TNA Wrestling just after one appearance.

Caster was at TNA Bound For Glory and rapped his way out to the ring, making fun of the bombings in Riyadh. That prompted a massive backlash online, with TNA removing the match and all mentions of it from social media and ultimately firing him.

“If you don’t know, in the span of one day I started a contract and ended a contract with TNA Wrestling. And I put out a statement, I addressed it, I apologized to a lot of people but the one group I didn’t get to apologize to was all the fans,” Caster said at the show.

He thanked the fans at ACW for welcoming him but admitted that he doesn’t know what his next move will be.

“I don’t know where I’ll be but I will be stepping away from the ring for an extended period of time. So I’m gonna go home, I’m gonna go to therapy. I’m gonna get it right so the next time I’m in the ring it feels like I’m at home just like you guys made me feel here tonight,” he continued. “So, finally for the last time in a long time, you are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive.”
