Officials describe a planned segment that turned real, with Syko Stu reported stable plus a rebuke from KnokX.

Overview

  • Smith was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries and is now awake and stable, according to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who apologized and called it a work that went wrong.
