Rampage Jackson Breaks Silence After Son’s Disturbing Attack

When Smith remained motionless, Raja unleashed more than 20 punches to his head before others rushed to stop the assault. Smith was hospitalized with injuries but later confirmed awake and stable.

Rampage Jackson broke his silence on X, offering clarity and condemning the actions. He explained that Raja, who recently suffered a concussion in MMA sparring, had been struck just moments before the incident. ‘Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match,’ Rampage wrote. ‘Raja was told that he could get his “payback” in the ring. I thought it was part of the show. It was bad judgment, and a work that went wrong. 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!’

He continued: ‘As a father, I’m deeply concerned with his health AND the well-being of Mr. Smith. That being said, I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery. I apologize on his behalf and to Kick for the situation.’

The incident has sparked heated discussion in both wrestling and MMA circles, raising questions about safety and accountability when real violence crosses into the scripted world of pro wrestling.
