Raja Jackson's first pro wrestling appearance after Syko Stu incident 'announced'

Raja Jackson’s next wrestling appearance has been ‘scheduled’ despite his recent ‘attack’ on Syko Stu.

Raja – son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson – recently caused controversy when he went off script and attacked Syko Stu – also known as Stuart Smith – at Knokx Pro Wrestling's show in Los Angeles, California, last week.

25-year-old Jackson put Syko Stu in hospital with a vicious attack, which resulted in him losing teeth and suffering broken cheekbones after he sustained over 20 blows while lying on the canvas.

"This egregious act is reprehensible and never should have occurred,” the organisation wrote in a statement after the incident.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with our brother Mr Stuart Smith (Syko Stu) as he remains a priority and we are monitoring his well-being.

"In the 17 years of operation of KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, there has never been anything as heinous take place such as this, and we apologize to our patrons and fans."

It was reported that Jackson was subsequently the subject of a police investigation, while a GoFundMe page was set up to support Stu.

As of Saturday, August 30, $210,149 had been raised, with various high-profile figures donating funds including YouTuber MrBeast.

Smith's wife, Contessa Patterson, issued a message via the page and described the assault as “unscripted”.

Even Raja’s father, Rampage Jackson, did not defend his son’s actions during a live stream during the aftermath.

“I don’t condone what my son did,” the former UFC light heavyweight champion admitted.

“I’m going to let justice play out… I just wish I could’ve been there. Hopefully, one day I can meet Syko Stu and shake his hand. I hope he can forgive me, as a dad, for not understanding everything.”

However, further details have since emerged which suggest the whole thing was a publicity stunt.

San Diego-based Danger Pro Wrestling claims that Jackson will soon make an “upcoming appearance at their event”, despite him being ‘banned’ by KnokX Pro.

According to Wrestle Zone, “Danger Pro claims it lost its WWE ID designation due to booking Jackson. However, Danger Pro was never a WWE ID program in the first place”.

The promotion does not specify exactly when Jackson will make an appearance, but they do have two events organised for September.
