Overview
- Video from the August 23 KnokX Pro show shows Raja Jackson entering the ring, slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and landing more than 20 punches before wrestlers pulled him away.
- Police said a 9 p.m. call initially reported attempted murder, the case is classified as felony battery, and no arrests had been made as of late August 26–27.
- Kick confirmed it banned Jackson’s account for violating its violence policies after reviewing the livestream of the assault.
- Smith’s family says he suffered severe head and facial injuries yet is able to talk, and a GoFundMe has surpassed $120,000 with a $10,000 donation from MrBeast.
- Quinton “Rampage” Jackson said he does not condone his son’s actions and has received death threats, as wrestlers condemned the attack and KnokX called it a planned spot that turned into real violence; reports also describe a prior beer‑can incident and claims Jackson was urged to seek “payback.”
