Raja Jackson arrested for assaulting pro wrestler during Kick stream, weeks after incident

Kick streamer Raja Jackson, son of UFC icon Rampage Jackson, has been taken into police custody after assaulting pro wrestler Syko Stu during a live event, leaving the victim hospitalized.

According to TMZ, Raja Jackson was arrested on September 18, nearly a month after the incident. He was booked on a felony charge and is currently being held on a $50,000 bond.

The altercation took place on August 23 at KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, where Jackson entered the ring during a live Kick stream and repeatedly struck wrestler Stewart Smith—known by his ring name, Syko Stu. The confrontation stemmed from a prior incident in which Stu mistakenly thought Jackson’s appearance was scripted. While the two initially appeared to settle the disagreement, promoters attempted to turn it into part of a storyline. However, when Jackson re-entered the ring, the punches were real.

Wrestler Douglas Malo revealed that Stu sustained serious facial injuries, including broken bones and teeth.

The LAPD received a 9 p.m. call on the night of the attack reporting an attempted murder, but Jackson had already fled by the time officers arrived on the scene.

Before the incident, Jackson had warned his viewers that it was his "dream to f**k up a pro wrestler" and promised he was “really going to hit him.”

KnokX Pro Wrestling condemned the violent act, calling it a “selfish, irresponsible act of violence.” The academy, once affiliated with WWE’s Independent Development program, has distanced itself from the company following the incident.

A GoFundMe campaign set up for Stu has raised thousands of dollars, including a $10,000 donation from YouTuber MrBeast.

Though Stu regained consciousness days later, he continues to suffer from severe injuries to his face.

Rampage Jackson has since expressed regret over his son's actions, stating he hopes to one day shake Stu’s hand and ask for forgiveness. He also acknowledged that Raja "went too far."
