Raja Jackson arrested in Los Angeles for violent wrestling ring attack that left Syko Stu unconscious

Raja Jackson has been arrested and is behind bars. Raja is the son of Quinton Randi Jackson, popularly known by his ring name, Rampage Jackson, who is a former professional wrestler, kickboxer, and mixed martial artist. The reason behind his arrest is that he physically assaulted another wrestler, Syko Stu, at a wrestling event last month.

Before beating up Syko Stu (Stuart Smith) inside the ring, Raja and the 39-year-old wrestler had an altercation outside. In a clip that went viral, Smith was seen cracking a beer can on Raja's head. The situation escalated into a heated moment, with the two men trying to face off, while Stu laughed behind them. However, the other wrestlers present tried to diffuse the tension.

Raja Jackson was arrested on Thursday morning and was booked on a felony charge.

What happened to Syko Stu?

Back in August, during a Knokx Pro Wrestling event that was held in LA, Syko Stu was pummeled by 25-year-old mixed martial artist Raja Jackson.

Raja was already aggravated by the situation that happened outside, where Stu cracked a beer can on his head. He took the opportunity to get into the ring while Syko Stu was in the middle of a fight to knock him down unconscious, and started punching his head around 22 times.

After a few seconds, other wrestlers who were present pulled Raja Jackson away from an unconscious Stu.

Syko Stu suffered multiple injuries, including a broken maxilla bone. However, after a few days in the hospital, the professional wrestler updated his fans on his official Instagram account that he is back at home and recovering from his injuries.

How did Quinton "Rampage" Jackson react to his son, Raja Jackson, beating up Syko Stu?

In a clip shared online, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson did not defend his son's actions. Instead, the professional wrestler said:

"I think that he should do a little time, do a little community service, and go to anger management class, seek some therapy."

He also cleared up questions people had about Raja trying to kill Stu. He said:

"No, it wasn't attempted murder cause he wasn't trying to kill the guy... I know my son, Raja, wouldn't try to kill nobody... Raja probably didn't even know how bad he hurt that guy... The problem is everything gets blown out of proportion, and people thought Raja snuck into the f**king ring. That's what the problem is, you know."

He continued:

"At this point, Raja was in the act as a pro wrestler, but he ain't no pro wrestler. The promoters had no reason putting my son in the f**king ring, but it was no attempted f**king murder."
