Overview

• The August 23 incident at KnokX Pro Wrestling in Sun Valley was streamed on Kick as Raja Jackson entered the ring and repeatedly struck wrestler Stuart Smith, who suffered broken facial bones and lost teeth.
• Smith, known as Syko Stu, is conscious and able to talk but faces a difficult recovery, his brother said, as a fundraising campaign has raised nearly $70,000.
• LAPD says it received a 9 p.m. call reporting an attempted murder, arrived after Jackson had left, and continues to investigate the case as felony battery.
• KnokX condemned what it called an unscripted act of violence, following an earlier outside confrontation in which Smith struck Jackson with a can and which promoters reportedly tried to fold into the show.
• Kick confirmed Jackson’s account has been banned, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson apologized and cited his son’s recent concussion, and he says he has received death threats as the footage spread; Dexerto reports WWE has distanced itself from KnokX.
