In a surprising revelation, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Max Caster has opened up about his brief yet unexpected stint in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) universe. In a recent episode of “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Caster shared the fascinating story of how he appeared on WWE TV back in 2018, playing a pivotal role in a memorable segment involving Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley.
For those who may not recall, the segment in question took place on the May 21, 2018, episode of Monday Night RAW, where Sami Zayn attempted to embarrass Bobby Lashley by introducing three individuals dressed as his sisters – Cathy, Jessica, and Frances. However, what many fans didn’t know was that one of those “sisters” was none other than Max Caster, who was still an up-and-coming wrestler at the time.
Caster, now 34, revealed that his WWE appearance led to the company offering him a deal. However, in an interesting twist, he also received an offer from AEW around the same time and ultimately chose to sign with Tony Khan’s promotion. This unexpected detour in Caster’s career path raises intriguing questions about the what-ifs of professional wrestling.
Reflecting on his RAW appearance, Caster expressed his thoughts on dressing up as Bobby Lashley’s kayfabe sister, Frances. Despite it being a one-off appearance, the experience likely had a profound impact on his growth as a wrestler. The confidence and exposure gained from sharing the ring with top talent like Lashley and Zayn would have undoubtedly influenced his subsequent decisions in the wrestling world.
Caster’s WWE debut may have been a brief, unanticipated moment in his career, but it serves as a testament to the unpredictable nature of professional wrestling. The path not taken often shapes the journey of a wrestler, and in this case, it led Caster to become a prominent figure in AEW.
As the wrestling world continues to evolve, stories like Max Caster’s serve as a reminder that even the most unexpected moments can have a lasting impact on a wrestler’s career.
