Moose issued an Open Challenge for Bound for Glory, and Max Caster answered the call.
Indeed, newly a free agent, Max Caster posted a rap on Twitter to announce that he accepted the Open Challenge. He proclaims that he will rebound at Bound for Glory and prove that he can compete with TNA’s flagship franchise.
We have to go back to TNA Impact on October 8, 2026, when Moose invited anyone to come test themselves against him for the PPV. Caster who accepts the challenge:

We have to go back to the start of the month when it was learned that Max Caster’s contract with AEW was coming to an end. Despite not appearing on AEW shows since December 2025, Caster remained active on the independent scene.
It is also noteworthy that AEW had not yet removed the profiles of Caster and Anthony Bowens from its website, leaving an opening for a potential return or a contract extension.
