What happened between Raja Jackson and Syko Stu?

During a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in California on August 23, Raja Jackson allegedly attacked Syko Stu in the wrestling ring. Before the match began, Sty had struck Jackson with a beer can on tape. Jackson was held back and made to calm down.

The two then decided to fight in a staged wrestling show to settle things. The event was live-streamed on Kick. Upon entering the ring, Jackson knocked out Stu and continued to deliver a series of 20 punches in total, rendering him unconscious.

As other wrestlers attempted to pull Jackson off, Stu was rushed to the hospital. As per TMZ, members of the Los Angeles Police Department were also called to investigate the matter.

Raja Jackson's father, UFC star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, addressed the situation in a tweet, mentioning that he has been informed Stu is "awake and stable." Quinton also apologized on Jackson's behalf to the Kick community and expressed concern for Stu's health.

Quinton's apology comes after Kick banned Raja Jackson from the streaming platform and condemned the violence. Netizens and pro-wrestling fans also took to social media to address the incident, while criticizing Jackson.

KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in a statement on X noted that what they thought was "supposed to be a planned and agreed upon wrestling spot, "turned into a selfish irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith."
