LOS ANGELES – The son of UFC fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson allegedly attacked a man during a wrestling show that was live streamed in Los Angeles Saturday, Aug. 23., hospitalizing him.
Raja Jackson interrupted a match during the "Knox Experience" show put on by the WWE ID affiliated KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, picking up and slamming Stuart Smith, who wrestles under the name Syko Stu, and repeatedly punching him. The incident was livestreamed on Jackson's Kick account.
Wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp posted on X following the incident that Smith was "rushed to the hospital with serious injuries."
"What was supposed to be a planned and agreed upon wrestling spot, turned into a selfish, irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith," KnokX Pro Wrestling wrote in a statement on Facebook posted Sunday, Aug. 24. "This egregious act is reprehensible and never should have occurred."
Douglas Malo, a wrestler who was involved in the ensuing mele to stop Jackson's alleged attack, told USA TODAY in an interview that Smith was awake and talking on Aug. 24 but had broken bones in his face and lost "a lot of teeth." Malo added that Smith could be released from the hospital on Aug. 24.
