Overview

  • Video from a KnokX Pro Wrestling show on Kick shows Raja Jackson entering the ring, slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and throwing dozens of real punches while Smith was motionless.
  • Smith’s family says he is awake and able to talk after severe head and facial injuries, with doctors expecting a difficult recovery.
  • The Los Angeles Police Department says detectives are investigating the incident as felony battery and have made no arrests.
  • Kick has banned Raja Jackson’s account for violating violence policies, and KnokX called the incident a planned spot that turned into an irresponsible act of real violence.
  • Quinton “Rampage” Jackson apologized publicly, said he does not condone his son’s actions, reported receiving racist death threats, and Smith’s GoFundMe has raised well over $100,000 for medical costs.
