AEWs Max Caster, known for his provocative raps and edgy humor, found himself at the center of controversy once again. This time, the backlash came after he seemingly endorsed a controversial segment at a Beyond Wrestling event involving real-life harassment allegations against Drew Gulak.
The segment in question featured Drew Gulak interacting with Masha Slamovich, asking her if he had ever made her feel unsafe or uncomfortable in the locker room. When Slamovich replied that she hadnt, Gulak ominously responded, Well, you should have, before attacking her, merging real-life accusations with storyline content. The incident drew significant criticism from fans, with many accusing the promotion of inappropriately handling sensitive matters.
In a now-deleted tweet, Max Caster commented on the segment with, Love this!!! a remark that immediately ignited backlash on social media. Fans were quick to express their disapproval, criticizing Caster for seemingly supporting the exploitation of real-life harassment allegations in wrestling storylines.
Following the uproar, Caster trended worldwide as upset fans voiced their outrage. In response to the backlash, he quietly deleted the tweet, but not before screenshots of the post had spread across social media.
While Caster is known for playing an exaggerated, controversial persona online, many feel his endorsement of the segment crossed a line. The controversy has renewed conversations within the wrestling community about the use of real-world issues for entertainment purposes and the responsibilities of performers when engaging with such content.
