Max Caster as Bobby Lashley’s Sister
In 2018, Bobby Lashley returned to WWE after a 10-year hiatus and began a feud with Sami Zayn. Zayn claimed that Lashley was hiding something from the fans and decided to expose him by bringing out three people who claimed to be his sisters.
The segment was widely panned by critics and fans alike, as it featured three male enhancement talents dressed as women, acting in a stereotypical and offensive manner. One of them was Max Caster, who played the role of Frances, Lashley’s oldest sister.
Caster later revealed that he was paid $250 for the appearance and that he regretted doing it. He also said that he apologized to Lashley backstage and that Lashley was very professional and understanding about the situation.
