The recent violent incident involving professional wrestler Syko Stu (Stuart Smith) and Raja Jackson at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event has left the sports and entertainment world deeply concerned.
Syko Stu’s Current Medical Condition and Hospitalization
Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith was hospitalized following the attack and remains in critical care. His injuries are severe, including multiple broken facial bones and the loss of several teeth. A fellow wrestler at the scene provided a chilling account of his condition:
“He was choking on his own blood and teeth” — Douglas Malo, fellow wrestler
Despite the severity of his injuries, Smith is now reported to be awake, stable, and able to speak. Medical professionals are monitoring his recovery closely, and there were initial hopes he might be released soon, though official updates on his discharge are still pending.
The wrestler that Raja Jackson attacked was a former Army veteran, who suffered from PTSD and used Pro Wrestling as an outlet to get away from his personal issues.
Prayers, Syko Stu. 🙏

The Shocking Incident: From Scripted Spot to Real Violence
The assault occurred on August 23, 2025, during a live-streamed event in Los Angeles. While Raja Jackson’s appearance was part of a planned wrestling segment, it escalated into an unscripted, brutal attack. Jackson slammed Syko Stu to the mat and delivered numerous punches to his head while he was defenseless. The promotion itself condemned the act, stating:
“What was supposed to be a planned and agreed upon wrestling spot, turned into a selfish, irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith.” — KnokX Pro Official Statement
Raja Jackson’s Father Issues Public Apology
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Raja’s father and a former UFC champion, quickly apologized publicly for his son’s actions. He expressed deep concern for Stu’s well-being and revealed a mitigating factor that may have influenced his son’s behavior.
“I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact… I apologize on his behalf.” — Quinton “Rampage” Jackson
Community Support and a Warning About Fundraising Scams
The wrestling community and beyond have rallied around Syko Stu. Notably, YouTube megastar MrBeast offered his support, posting on social media:
“Genuinely, if anyone connected to him knows of a way I can help please reach out. If his kid is a fan or I can help with hospital bills idk but I’ll help.” — MrBeast
However, his brother Andrew has since issued an urgent alert about fraudulent fundraising efforts, clarifying:
“We currently do not have a GoFundMe set up, and any links posted are not affiliated with us.” — Andrew Smith, Syko Stu’s brother
