Overview

• Video from a KnokX Pro Wrestling show shows Raja Jackson slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith and throwing more than 20 punches, leaving Smith hospitalized with serious head and facial injuries.
• LAPD said a 9 p.m. call initially reported an attempted murder before detectives reclassified the case as felony battery, and investigators are reviewing footage and witness accounts.
• Quinton “Rampage” Jackson issued an apology, said he does not condone the assault, cited his son's recent concussion, and said he has received racist death threats.
• Streaming platform Kick confirmed it has banned Raja Jackson’s account after the footage spread widely online.
• Smith’s family says he is conscious and able to talk but faces a difficult recovery, as a GoFundMe draws more than $60,000 and wrestlers allege others encouraged Raja to seek a “receipt.”
