Son of 'Rampage' Jackson Allegedly Attacks Wrestler on Live Stream

LOS ANGELES - Raja Jackson, the son of UFC fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, allegedly attacked a man during a live-streamed wrestling show in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 23, causing the man to be hospitalized.

Jackson disrupted a wrestling match during the "Knox Experience" show organized by the WWE ID-affiliated KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy. He picked up and slammed Stuart Smith, known as Syko Stu in wrestling, and punched him multiple times. The incident was streamed on Jackson's Kick account.

According to wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp, Smith was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. KnokX Pro Wrestling condemned the incident in a statement on Facebook, calling it a selfish and violent act against Smith.

Douglas Malo, a wrestler involved in stopping Jackson's attack, mentioned that Smith had facial fractures and lost many teeth but was awake and talking the next day. Smith's brother, Andrew Smith, stated that he was stable but in critical care.

The New York Times and TMZ reported that the Los Angeles Police Department had launched an investigation into the incident. The live stream showed Jackson interacting backstage before the incident occurred.

Smith approached Jackson during the event, struck him with a beer can, and was later informed that Jackson was not a wrestler. They were separated, and Smith tried to apologize after a misunderstanding.

Jackson eventually participated in the match, but during the event, he attacked Smith, causing him serious harm. Jackson was escorted out of the venue by security after the incident. Veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer described the incident as one of the worst he had witnessed.

Quinton Jackson, Raja's father, denounced his son's actions, attributing it to bad judgment and a misinterpreted situation. Malo, a witness to the incident, called for legal action against Jackson and another individual involved.
