AEW star Max Caster found himself at the center of controversy after posting a tweet that appeared to endorse a controversial segment involving Drew Gulak. The segment, which took place at a Beyond Wrestling event, saw Gulak ask Masha Slamovich if he had ever made her feel unsafe or uncomfortable in the locker room. When Slamovich replied that he hadn't, Gulak ominously responded, "Well, you should have," before attacking her.
oh cool you’re online

Caster's tweet, which read, "Love this!!!" with a clapping hands emoji, quickly drew backlash from fans who felt that he was supporting the exploitation of real-life harassment allegations in wrestling storylines. The tweet was deleted shortly after, but not before screenshots of the post had spread across social media.

Very curious what @TonyKhan and @AEW think about this.

The controversy has reignited discussions within the wrestling community about the use of real-world issues for entertainment purposes and the responsibilities of performers when engaging with such content. While Caster is known for his provocative raps and edgy humor, many fans felt that his endorsement of the segment crossed a line.
