Shocking Video Shows Ex-UFC Fighter’s Son Brutally Attack Wrestler During Live Event
The video shows Raja Jackson, an MMA fighter and Rampage’s 25-year-old son, slamming professional wrestler Stuart Smith, known by fans as Syko Stu, onto the mat during a Knokx Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles.
The shocking scene escalated when Jackson lifted Smith high above his head before throwing him down with force onto the ring floor.
After the slam, Jackson continued throwing punches at Smith, who appeared to be unconscious, until other wrestlers rushed into the ring and managed to pull him off to stop the assault.
According to Fightful reporter Sean Ross Sapp, while a staged confrontation between Jackson and Smith was meant to happen, the level of real violence and the injuries that followed were not part of the plan.
WARNING: The following video contains graphic violence
“Stu was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. We are working to find out more and have Stu in our thoughts.”
That clip shows Smith hitting Jackson on the head with an unknown object. Rampage later explained that the moment in the ring was meant to be staged ‘payback,’ but admitted the situation spiraled out of control.
“I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler (Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable. Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match, Raja was told that he could get his “payback” in the ring, I thought it was apart of the show. It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong.”
“As a father, I’m deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith. That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery.”
