Overview

• The August 23 incident was captured on multiple videos showing Raja Jackson entering the ring, knocking Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith unconscious, and delivering more than 20 follow-up punches.
• Smith sustained serious head and facial injuries, including a fractured maxilla and lost teeth, and was released from the hospital on August 31 to recover at home.
• LAPD is collecting video and witness statements, and wrestler Doug Malo says detectives are compiling a strong case that sources expect California state prosecutors to assume.
• Quinton “Rampage” Jackson says he is not speaking to Raja, is paying his legal fees, and believes his son should serve a short jail term with community service and therapy.
• Lawyers are preparing potential civil claims, and promoters have barred Raja from events such as a Danger Pro Wrestling show after the livestreamed attack drew widespread condemnation.
