LOS ANGELES — A wrestling event in Los Angeles took a disturbing turn Saturday night when Raja Jackson, son of former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, appeared to violently assault a professional wrestler inside the ring.

The incident occurred at a KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy show, where video footage captured Jackson storming into the ring during an active match. He targeted wrestler Stuart Smith, better known by his ring name Syko Stu, lifting him and slamming him forcefully onto the mat. Jackson then mounted Smith and unleashed a barrage of nearly two dozen punches directly to his face before other wrestlers intervened.

The shocking footage shows Smith lying motionless and bleeding heavily after the attack, seemingly unconscious and unable to defend himself. His exact medical condition was not immediately confirmed, but on Sunday morning, Quinton Jackson stated on social media that Smith was “awake and stable,” offering relief after widespread concern for the wrestler’s safety.

Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Norma Eisenman confirmed that officers responded to the scene on the 8500 block of Lankershim Boulevard, where KnokX Pro Wrestling is located. While a police report was filed, no arrests have been made as of yet. Detectives are expected to review the case and determine the next steps in the investigation starting Monday.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson addressed the altercation publicly, calling the incident a result of “bad judgement, and a work that went wrong,” suggesting that the act may have been planned as part of the show but escalated far beyond its intended scope.

The incident has sparked significant debate within both the wrestling and MMA communities, raising concerns over safety, professionalism, and accountability in live entertainment events.
