As reported, Max Caster was pulled from this week's AEW Dark following public outrage over his controversial rap from the latest episode.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The Acclaimed member took shots at Olympic gymnast Simone Biles while also addressing the Duke Lacrosse allegations. The verse was deemed insensitive by the wrestling community.

WWE Hall of Famer Stevie Ray appeared on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted and shared his thoughts on Max Caster's situation in AEW.

Stevie Ray was critical of Max Caster and AEW and slammed them for resorting to cheap heat. The former WCW Tag Team Champion was a heel during his prime and recalled that he never had to use cheap tactics to draw heat.

Ray added that Max Caster's AEW career would be in jeopardy if he continues to fall back on unacceptable methods to garner heat as a bad guy:

"First of all, I played a heel for a long, long time. Even after WCW, for years, I was going back and forth overseas, I played a heel for a long, long time. I never had to resort to cheap heat. I'm a bad dude. I don't need cheap heat like a Colby Covington (UFC star). This guy, Max Caster, or whatever his name is, if you resort to that, you ain't got a career in front of you, anyway. And for a company to resort to that, especially a company that is owned by a person of color, supposedly. So maybe some people that are in this country are people of color, that would be deemed as people of color, but in your own mind, you are not," said Stevie Ray.

During the latest UnSkripted with Dr. Chris Featherstone, Stevie Ray also spoke about how black people in the United States get castigated despite their accolades. You can check that out and more in the video above.
