Raja Jackson Arrested on Felony Booking in Live-Streamed Wrestling Assault

Los Angeles records show the 25-year-old is being held on $50,000 bail with the specific charge not yet disclosed publicly.

Overview

  • Los Angeles County jail records confirm Jackson was taken into custody on Sept. 18 and booked at the felony level with bail set at $50,000.
  • Video from a KnokX Pro event shows Jackson entering the ring, slamming wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, then delivering more than 20 punches while Smith was unconscious during a Kick livestream.
  • Smith was hospitalized with serious facial and jaw injuries, including a fractured maxilla and lost teeth, and has since been released to recover at home as a GoFundMe surpassed $222,000.
  • LAPD opened a case after a 9 p.m. call on the night of the attack and arrested Jackson weeks later, with records not yet listing the precise statutory charge.
  • KnokX Pro condemned the violence, WWE’s ID program distanced from the promotion, Kick removed Jackson’s account, and his father Quinton “Rampage” Jackson said his son should do a little jail time and seek counseling.
