Damning video evidence could aid Raja Jackson following troubling assault

Raja Jackson is responsible for one of the most disturbing attacks at a professional wrestling show. While blame cannot be shifted away from Jackson, new footage has surfaced that could aid his case.

The son of fan-favorite MMA standout Rampage Jackson is under fire for his assault at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in California on Saturday. The 25-year-old lost all sense after he knocked professional wrestler Stuart Smith unconscious with a slam before landing over 20 punches to Smith as he lay out cold on the canvas.

Several excuses are beginning to circulate, with Rampage Jackson insisting his son could have acted out due to a concussion he suffered in sparring just days earlier.

While there is no justification for committing such a heinous attack, a video has recently surfaced that Raja Jackson could use to evade his expected harsh punishment.

News of Jackson being hit over the head with a can by Stuart Smith earlier in the day, which led to a harmless altercation between the two, is being considered the reason for the devastating assault in the ring at KnokX.

Despite being a co-worker of Smith, also known by his in-ring alias Syko Stu, wrestler AJ Mana may have persuaded Raja Jackson to enact his senseless attack.

A video shows Mana telling Jackson to essentially return the favor, to which he did in a sickening manner.

"You run in on his sh*t and you f***ing give him his receipt," Mana told Jackson backstage before the attack. "You remember what a receipt is."

"Give him that f***ing receipt, tag his sh*t. And if he's got a f***ing problem with it, I'll run out there. Tag his sh*t."

The footage shows Jackson being goaded into returning the favor of his earlier spat with Smith.
