Raja Jackson, the 25-year-old son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, has found himself at the center of controversy following a violent incident at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles. On August 23, 2025, during a live-streamed match, Jackson unexpectedly entered the ring and assaulted professional wrestler Stuart Smith, known as Syko Stu, leaving him unconscious.

The altercation began when Jackson, who had been seated ringside, climbed into the ring and body-slammed Smith. He then proceeded to deliver at least 20 punches to Smith's head, even after the wrestler appeared unconscious. The attack was captured on video and quickly disseminated across social media platforms, drawing widespread condemnation.

In response to the incident, KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy issued a statement condemning Jackson's actions as a "selfish, irresponsible act of violence." The organization emphasized that such behavior was unprecedented in their 17 years of operation and apologized to their patrons and fans.

The Los Angeles Police Department has initiated an investigation into the assault. A spokesperson confirmed that a police report was filed, and authorities are currently looking into the matter.

Raja Jackson's father, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, publicly apologized for his son's actions. He stated, "Raja is an MMA fighter, not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this. I don't condone my son's actions AT ALL!"

The incident has sparked a broader conversation about safety protocols in professional wrestling and the responsibilities of participants to maintain the integrity of the sport. Fans and industry professionals alike are calling for stricter regulations to prevent such occurrences in the future.
