Raja Jackson Attacks Wrestler Syko Stu at Knox Pro Event – Raja Jackson, the son of former UFC Champion Rampage Jackson, sparked controversy at Knox Pro’s Knox Experience event after going off-script and legitimately attacking wrestler Syko Stu. Jackson was reportedly set to appear and begin a storyline feud with Stu, but things turned violent when he struck the already unconscious wrestler, leading to a real incident rather than the planned angle.
According to TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department was called to the event on Saturday night. Officers filed a police report, and the situation is currently under investigation. Following the attack, Syko Stu was hospitalized but is now stable and expected to fully recover. Sources close to the promotion told TMZ that Raja Jackson will “never be allowed at a KnokX Pro event again,” labeling the incident a “selfish, irresponsible act of violence.”
Rampage Jackson later addressed the controversy on Twitter, explaining that the situation was initially intended to be part of the show but quickly spiraled out of control.
“I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler (Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable. Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match, Raja was told that he could get his ‘payback’ in the ring, I thought it was a part of the show. It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong. Raja is a MMA fighter not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this.
“I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact. As a father, I’m deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith. That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery. I apologize on his behalf and to KNOX for the situation,” Rampage Jackson wrote.
The incident has raised concerns over the mixing of MMA and professional wrestling when performers are not properly trained, with Knox Pro officials and fans alike condemning the violent outcome.
