At the time of writing, Max's suspension has not been confirmed by AEW or any wrestling news outlet.
Before the suspension tweeted, Caster used social media to release a new rap, 'The Feeling', seemingly referencing his status in AEW:

Caster had attracted negative attention for an entrance rap aimed at Bullet Club Gold's Jay White at last Sunday's Dynasty pay-per-view. As he and Acclaimed partners Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn entered their match with White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn, Max rapped:
"Switchblade's what I switch. I'll fufill your fantasy and I'll make you my b****. Yo this dude's just making me sick. I'll violate you so bad you'll have to tell the legal team about the taste of my d***."
If AEW has suspended Caster, it would be the second instance we know of. August 2021 saw him benched for a Dark rap referencing Simone Biles' mental health struggles, the Duke lacrosse case, and other controversial topics, prompting AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan to brand it "terrible." Following this, Khan took over editing the since-cancelled YouTube series, hoping to prevent future occurrences.
The Acclaimed dropped their AEW World Trios Titles at Dynasty, as they were unified with the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Titles following Bullet Club Gold's victory on the Zero Hour pre-show.
