Shocking Violence Mars Pro Wrestling Event
Knokx Pro Wrestling has denounced an unscripted attack by Raja Jackson, son of former UFC champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, during a live event in California. The organization called the incident "reprehensible," stating it deviated from a prearranged performance and escalated into real violence.
Details of the Altercation
Stuart Smith, known professionally as Syko Stu, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition following two confrontations with Jackson. The first occurred outside the venue, where Smith—a U.S. Army veteran—reportedly struck Jackson. Later, during a match, Jackson entered the ring, slammed Smith onto the canvas, and repeatedly punched him until others intervened.
Organizers and Family React
Knokx Pro Wrestling emphasized the attack "contradicted 17 years of safe events" and apologized to fans. Meanwhile, Smith’s brother confirmed the wrestler’s condition on social media. Quinton Jackson, UFC light-heavyweight titleholder from 2007–2008, expressed distress, calling the incident a "work gone wrong"—referring to a scripted wrestling segment that spiraled out of control.
Legal Repercussions Loom
The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an investigation, according to TMZ. The altercation, streamed live on platform Kick, has drawn widespread criticism, raising questions about safety protocols in combat sports exhibitions.
