WWE Hall of Famer Stevie Ray didn't shy away from discussing recent controversies during his Sportskeeda interview.

All Elite Wrestling has quickly established itself as a major competitor to WWE. WWE Hall of Famer Stevie Ray was asked about his opinion on the recent Max Caster-AEW controversy. Caster's controversial freestyle rap was edited off AEW DARK, despite previously airing.

The Acclaimed's scheduled match this week on AEW DARK was also removed, with Max Caster also removing AEW references from his social media accounts.

Despite initially being unaware of the finer details of the incident, Stevie Ray criticized Caster for resorting to cheap heat during the rap. The WWE Hall of Famer stated that Caster doesn't have "a career in front of you" if he continues to resort to using cheap heat:

"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. 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,"

There has been speculation that Max Caster may have been suspended by AEW. But this has yet to be confirmed by Caster or All Elite Wrestling.
