Overview

• On August 23 at a KnokX Pro show in Los Angeles, Raja Jackson entered the ring, slammed Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, and delivered more than 20 punches in an attack captured on a Kick livestream.
• Smith suffered severe head and facial injuries, including a fractured maxilla, lost teeth, and a lacerated lip, and he was released from the hospital on August 31 to recover at home.
• KnokX Pro said a planned in-ring segment turned into a non-scripted assault, and widely shared video from multiple angles is central to the case.
• The LAPD has an active investigation with no charges announced, and multiple outlets report state authorities in California may assume the case as civil litigation is prepared.
• Quinton “Rampage” Jackson says he has cut off contact with Raja, is covering legal fees, and believes his son should serve a short jail term with counseling, while promoters have distanced themselves, including a reported ban from a Danger Pro Wrestling event, and veteran wrestler Tom Lawlor said he is not surprised no arrest has been made yet.
