Douglas Malo criticizes AJ Mana for instigating Raja Jackson to attack Syko Stu. Fellow wrestler Douglas Malo or "The Epic," during an appearance on Episode 24 of Scaling up the Podcast, called out AJ Mana for reportedly instructing Raja Jackson to go all out on Syko Stu before a wrestling match.
Malo laid out his opinions and said,
"I think Raja is a sh*t person for what he did. But I think AJ's a bigger s**t person, for gassing him up to be in that f***ing ring, to leading him, to ruin his own f***ing life, to hurt somebody that AJ also has a f***ing problem with. You can't f***ing tell me that's not I don't believe in coincidence."
When another person on the podcast said,
"He was basically trying to put the blood on someone else's hands."
Malo agreed and said that Mana wasn't "going to do it himself." Malo also that Mana had been beaten in a "few little backyard fights he got in" and wanted to get somebody that's a "real fighter" to do his "dirty work."
Netizens took to the podcast video's comment section to praise Malo for breaking up the fight between Jackson and Stu. Netizens also criticized AJ Mana for instigating Jackson.
What is AJ Mana's involvement in Raja Jackson and Syko Stu's wrestling match?
Raja Jackson on August 23, 2025, fought Syko Stu at a staged wrestling match at the KnokX Pro Wrestling event in California. Before the fight, Stu had struck Jackson with a beer can on tape, and when Jackson retaliated, Stu was immediately informed that "he's not a worker." Jackson was held back and the two agreed to set up a wrestling show to settle things.
However, after entering the ring, Jackson knocked Stu out and continued to deliver a series of 20 punches, rendering Smith unconscious. Jackson had to be pulled off by other wrestlers from the fight and Stu was taken to the hospital.
After the incident, a video clip surfaced on social media where AJ Mana can be seen advising Jackson to go all out on Syko Stu. The video is from the backstage of the wrestling event, and Mana can be heard saying,
"You run in on his s**t and you f***ing give him his receipt. You remember what a receipt is."
Mana added,
"Give him that f***ing receipt, tag his sh**. And if he's got a f***ing problem with it, I'll run out there. Tag his s**t."
The video clip seemingly provided evidence that it was Mana's advice that Jackson kept on attacking Stu even when the latter was unconscious.
