Overview

• Los Angeles County filed one felony battery count and one misdemeanor battery count, with a great bodily injury allegation that could increase penalties, and an arraignment is expected this week.
• The Aug. 23 KnokX Pro incident in Sun Valley was captured on Kick, showing Jackson body-slamming Smith and landing more than 20 punches as Smith appeared to lose consciousness.
• Smith suffered serious injuries including a fractured maxilla, trauma to both jaws, a lacerated upper lip, and lost teeth; he was hospitalized for days and is now recovering at home.
• Police arrested Jackson in September and released him on $50,000 bail after multiple wrestlers subdued him during the melee, with one bystander sustaining a scalp wound.
• Promoters and the streaming platform distanced themselves, some peers advocated for harsher charges, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson publicly condemned his son’s actions.
