Things got out of hand at a Knox Pro event over the weekend when Raja Jackson, son of MMA legend Rampage Jackson, went off-script and violently attacked fellow performer Syko Stu during what was supposed to be a choreographed wrestling spot.
It all started when Stu (real name Stewart Smith) struck Raja in the head with a can as part of a planned moment earlier in the show. But after Stus match, Raja stormed the ring, tackled him with a double-leg slam, and unloaded a barrage of punches while mounting himforcing officials and wrestlers to rush in and break it up.
To make matters worse, the entire incident was captured on Rajas livestream. In the aftermath, Raja was overheard on the phone claiming that Stu had flatlined, which instantly raised red flags and concern among fans watching.
Rampage Jackson didnt waste any time responding. He took to social media to clarify the situation and offer an apology on behalf of his son.
Rampage made it clear he didnt approve of what happenedand placed blame on poor planning and bad judgment from all involved.
Rampage also expressed concern for Syko Stu, adding:
The aftermath has left a lot of people in the wrestling world asking whether stricter protocols need to be in place at indie showsespecially when non-wrestlers or combat athletes are involved. While Syko Stu is reported to be stable, the incident could have ended far worse.
