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

Booking records list a $50,000 bail after an August KnokX Pro event left Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith with serious injuries captured on video.

Overview

  • Los Angeles authorities arrested the 25-year-old on Sept. 18 on a reported felony count, with booking records confirming custody and bail but not uniformly specifying the exact charge.
  • Livestreamed footage from the Aug. 23 show shows Jackson entering the ring, slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and throwing more than 20 punches while Smith was motionless.
  • Smith was hospitalized and later discharged on Aug. 31 with jaw trauma, a maxilla fracture and lost teeth, and he is recovering at home.
  • Reports detail a backstage beer-can incident and an agreed run-in that escalated into an unprotected attack, which KnokX condemned as a selfish act of violence.
  • The LAPD investigation is ongoing; Kick banned Jackson’s account, community donations for Smith’s recovery have surpassed $222,000, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has said his son should serve some jail time and seek treatment.
