Raja Jackson Pleads No Contest in Wrestler Assault Case, Faces 90 Days in Jail

The deal steers the case away from trial by tying sentencing to full restitution.

Overview

  • Raja Jackson, who entered a no-contest plea on Wednesday, is expected by the Los Angeles County DA’s office to get 90 days in county jail, two years of formal probation, and $81,703.38 in restitution.
  • Prosecutors say he must pay the full restitution before a late-June sentencing, which remains subject to the judge’s approval.
  • Jackson also accepted two special allegations for personally causing great bodily injury and for violent conduct, which increased the stakes of the case.
  • The charges stem from an August 23, 2025 Knokx Pro Wrestling show in Sun Valley where he entered the ring, body-slammed Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and punched him repeatedly as the attack streamed on Kick.
  • Smith suffered severe jaw and facial injuries, spent days in the ICU, and later stepped away from wrestling as supporters raised more than $222,000 for his medical bills and lost wages.
