Rikishi is stepping away from KnokX Pro Entertainment & Academy but hes keeping the reason private. The WWE Hall of Famer posted a message on May 3, 2026 confirming that hes taking his leave from the promotion and focusing on rest. Thats all he said. No added context. No follow-up. Just a quiet exit that caught attention. His departure comes after KnokX Pro made headlines in 2025 following a violent incident involving Raja Jackson, the son of Quinton Rampage Jackson. The situation led to serious injuries and legal trouble after an attack at one of the promotions events. There is no indication that Rikishis decision to step away is connected to that situation. Right now, the only thing confirmed is that Rikishi is stepping back and taking time for himself. Everything else is speculation. Do you think Rikishi will return to KnokX Pro down the line, or is this the end of his run there? Let us know your thoughts. G Add as a preferred source on Google
