A wrestling event in Los Angeles turned violent when Raja Jackson, the son of MMA veteran Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, attacked wrestler Syko Stu during a match on August 23.
The confrontation escalated after Stu, real name Stuart Smith, struck Jackson with a drink over his head.
During the match, Jackson stormed into the ring, slammed Stu to the mat, and delivered more than 20 punches to his head. Stu was left bleeding, unconscious, and convulsing before other wrestlers pulled Jackson away.
Stu sustained facial fractures and lost several teeth. He has since been listed in stable but critical condition and remains under hospital care. Police have confirmed they are investigating the assault, while KnokX Pro Wrestling described the attack as a selfish and irresponsible act of violence.

In a post, MrBeast wrote: “Dang man, this hurts to see. Especially because I read he was a veteran who used wrestling as an outlet to get over ptsd. Genuinely, if anyone connected to him knows of a way I can help please reach out. If his kid is a fan, or I can help with hospital bills, idk but I’ll help.”
Rampage Jackson later apologized, saying his son had recently suffered a concussion in training and should not have been involved in the event. He described the assault as a work gone wrong and expressed concern for both wrestlers.
The incident was livestreamed on Kick, which led to Raja Jackson’s account being banned shortly after it took place.
