Raja Jackson Justifes His Brutal Attack On Syko Stu

Here we are again, folks, witnessing another chapter in the never-ending saga of “kids of famous fighters making questionable life choices.” This time, it’s Raja Jackson, son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who decided to turn what should have been scripted entertainment into his own personal vendetta match. This wasn’t your typical wrestling drama, where someone gets “injured” and miraculously recovers in time for the next show.

The Incident That Has Everyone Talking

Saturday night at the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in Sun Valley, Los Angeles, Raja Jackson took center stage in the worst possible way. What was supposed to be a choreographed wrestling match between Raja and Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith turned into something that made even the most hardcore MMA fans cringe.

The 25-year-old Raja Jackson didn’t just go off-script. He completely rewrote the entire playbook. After body-slamming Smith to the mat, Raja proceeded to unleash a barrage of at least 20 punches to the head of what appeared to be an unconscious wrestler. Twenty. Real. Punches.

Let that sink in for a moment. This wasn’t some WWE-style theatrical beatdown where guys pull their punches and the “victim” sells the drama. This was a legitimate assault caught on livestream, watched by horrified fans who probably thought they were tuning in for some mindless entertainment, not a potential homicide.

What Really Happened Behind the Scenes

Now, here’s where things get interesting. And by interesting, I mean absolutely infuriating. According to Papa Rampage’s damage control statement on social media, this whole mess started because Smith allegedly hit Raja Jackson with a can earlier in the evening. A can. Apparently, in the Jackson household, getting bonked with a beverage container justifies attempting to turn someone’s brain into mush.

But wait, it gets better. Rampage claims his son was told he could get his “payback” during the match, suggesting this was some sort of sanctioned revenge fantasy gone wrong. Because nothing says professional wrestling like using the ring as your personal therapy session for anger management issues.

The elder Jackson also mentioned that Raja had suffered a concussion just days before this incident and “had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.” So let me get this straight. A concussed, inexperienced amateur was given the green light to settle a personal beef in a professional wrestling ring?

Update On Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith

Stuart Smith, the actual victim in all this chaos, is reportedly conscious and recovering. Which, frankly, is more than we had any right to expect given the brutality of the attack. His brother Andrew confirmed Smith has “some recollection of events,” which is medical speak for “he remembers getting his lights punched out by someone who clearly never learned the difference between real fighting and sports entertainment.”

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating this incident, which means Raja Jackson might soon discover that real-world consequences don’t follow wrestling storylines. There’s no heel turn or face comeback that fixes this kind of mess. Heck, the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy lost its WWE ID status, and the future of that company looks bleak.

The Bottom Line: Raja Jackson Should Be In Jail

At the end of the day, Raja Jackson turned what should have been harmless entertainment into a potential criminal case. He took someone else’s therapeutic outlet and weaponized it for his own emotional inadequacies. And now everyone involved, from the promotion to the fans to his own family, has to live with the consequences. How this man is not in jail is the bigger question.
