Raja Jackson Attacks Pro Wrestler Incident at KnokX Pro Event Update – Douglas Malo on What He Was Told Before Incident & Blames AJ Mana, AJ Mana Responds Giving His Side of Story, Rampage Jackson Issues New Statement, Mark Henry Says Syko Stu Shares Some Blame

As noted before, Raja Jackson, son of former UFC fighter Quintin “Rampage” Jackson, was involved in an incident over him legit assaulting a pro wrestler named Syko Stu, real name Stuart Smith, at an event for KnokX Pro Wrestling this past Saturday.

A recent episode of the Scaling Up podcast featured KnokX Pro wrestler Douglas Malo as one of the guests. One of the topics discussed included Malo’s thoughts about what he was told before the incident and how he was involved in pulling Jackson off of Stu.

“I just got done with my match. I got whispered by somebody, ‘Something is not right. I might need you to go out there and check a scenario. This guy is going to do a spot?’ ‘What’s the spot?’ ‘We’ll let you know.’ You’ll let me know, but you’re not telling me when the cue is or when the spot is going to happen? You’re just going to let me know just in case? I’m waiting for this cue. I walk up to somebody with a radio, ‘Talked to the back. When do you guys want me to go? What’s happening?’ I was informed of the beer can incident shortly before that. They told me that they made up, shook hands, hugged it out multiple times and it was going to be fine. I talk to the person up front with the radio, I walk back to the ring, I see the slam, the first punch, second punch, by then I have people in front of me. I just start moving. I wish I had sprung on the slam. There is nothing worse…you watch somebody you care about, he’s a veteran. These are people who are supposed to love him. I’m the only one on the outskirts being told to watch this, apparently? I’m in there, battling, trying to work this, telling the guy to calm down, and now he’s trying to fight me.”

Malo also gave his thoughts about if he thought if the incident was premeditated and his belief that wrestler AJ Mana is to blame for why things escalated.

“I think the premeditation part comes on the side of AJ Mana. You brought somebody who was volatile, who you knew had issues. That’s the small ass chicken legged bitch with the cowboy hat.

I don’t like Raja. I think Raja is a shit person for what he did, but I think AJ is a bigger shit person for gassing him up and leading him to ruining his own fucking life. To hurt somebody that AJ also has a problem with. I don’t believe in coincidences. He ruined two people’s lives.

I think he wanted to kill him. I promise you he would have klled him. He would have killed me if he got the best of me. If he would’ve taken my legs from under me, like he was tyring to, he was going to do the same thing to me that he did to Stu.”

In a recent episode of the F’Yall Podcast with C.T. Fletcher, AJ Mana responded to the online backlash against him and gave his side of the story regarding the incident.

“I’m dealing with anything in regard to speculation, rumor, heresy, anything of that nature. I will deal only with my personal experience and the facts as I witnessed them and as I acted and whatever came out of my mouth and whatever I was involved in.

In a video, that was over an hour long, in that entire video, you only see my ass for eight minutes. I had the least amount of involvement in this shit. However, I’m taking most of the heat for it. What’s happening….I won’t get too much into family ties, but it’s very obvious and easy to throw me under the bus.

One thing I will not do is set up or double-cross another man.

My life is ruined because of your speculation. My life is ruined because you decided to throw me under the bus to protect your own image. To protect what you perceive to be your own good name when your name ain’t shit to nobody. I’m not afraid of you motherfuckers anymore. You know who I’m talking to.

Raja is a teammate of mine, the son of Quinton Rampage Jackson. The man, not a character. Let’s deal with the facts. He was a guest. I didn’t bring him to the show. I was part of the show. I am not a promoter. I am a talent. It wasn’t even my idea to have a storyline with Raja. I have no creative control. I don’t own the fucking company. I carry out what was told to me to do. I was unaware by carrying out what I was told to do that I would be scapegoated to protect them. Raja gets to the door. Unbeknownst to whoever was working security, homeboy didn’t know I slotted a VIP ticket to Raja.

For some reason or another, his name wasn’t on the list. I forked up another $30 to get his name on the VIP list. Why? Unbeknownst to production, a day prior, there was a meeting with me, Raja, and his pops about beginning a collaboration with [Kick livestream]. They have millions of followers. Rampage says, ‘You’re working hard to get your name out there, but something isn’t clicking. If you get on this stream with us, people will talk shit.’ They did. ‘People will ragebait you. Just be cool about it and your following will do up.’ It did. It really did. Then we started talking, ‘What if we bring this stream to KnkX Pro. It’ll be good for them and you.’ Raja was there on business. Y’all out here trying to say this whole thing was a work and part of a storyline that went wrong. That’s bullshit.”

Mana also stated that he was the one who introduced Jackson to the owner and it was known that Raja was streaming and they were told everything was okay.

“He was there for business. Not to do business on the show, but to promote the show, to promote me, to promote himself. It was a cross-collaborative agreement.”

Mana also gave his thoughts about the beer can throw incident backstage and claimed the promoter wanted to turn it into a worked storyline for the show. Later in the interview, Mana claimed that Stu had hit Jackson in the head with the can out of sheer anger.

“Then, up walks someone, ‘Don’t worry about them. Do you know who I am?’ ‘No, I don’t know who you are.’ ‘You should, I’m such and such.’ ‘I don’t know who the fuck that is.’ Pop [beer can hitting the head]. Need I say more? That wasn’t a work. That wasn’t a fucking storyline. That was a shoot.

Promoter says, ‘Since this is already on camera, let’s use it and make it part of the show.’ ‘How are we going to do that?’ ‘I’ll give you a chance to roll in on his match and get your lick back.’ I said ‘receipt.’ I didn’t say ‘lick back.’ [Punches himself in the jaw]. That’s a receipt. That’s all the fuck I told Raja to do! The only thing I told him to do was give him a receipt because that’s what the promoter wanted done. The promoter sent me away with Raja to work out the details. I didn’t tell him to go beat that man. One punch.

Someone pulled him aside afterwards, some jabroni from the bullshit production team, says to him, ‘Don’t just throw one punch. Slam him and keep hitting him until we come in there and pull him off.’ Who the fuck set that up? Guess where I was? Nowhere in the building. I was getting ready for my match.

‘Get in there and fuck that motherfucker up.’ Did that come out of my mouth? No. It came out of the promoter’s mouth. I’m not the promoter. I carried out orders. That’s all.. I was given a script to work out and implement into the show and later pulled from that segment. It’s not my fault. I’m a piece in this puzzle. I was carrying out the order of the promoter …

There was no time to train him. He wasn’t there to be part of the show. He got attacked. He got assaulted, too. He got assaulted. They wanted to make it part of a storyline. There was no time to train him. This was a live show. One person assaults a guy, two hours later, another person assaults the same person. They assaulted each other. Yeah, he had permission. From the promoter, not me. I’m not the promoter.

In a recent Kick stream, Raja’s father Quintin “Rampage” Jackson issued another statement about his son’s actions at the wrestling event.

“Since the unfortunate incident this weekend….it’s hard for me to talk about it. I’m going to keep it 100. I feel bad about what happened to Syko Stu. I don’t condone what my son did at all. Very unfortunate. If I was there things went down..but I wasn’t there. I’m a father. I gotta have my son’s back, but I’m going to let justice play out and take its course. Ain’t much I can do on that side but be a father. Y’all know I can’t talk about this shit. I can’t talk about any details or stuff like that. I can’t really go into nothing. I hope y’all can respect that. This shit put me in a bad mood. I feel bad about Syko Stu and his family having to see that shit. I wish I could have been there. Shit is wild. Shit is all over the internet. I see a lot of people editing stupid shit for clickbait to make money. That’s not fair. A lot of racist people showing their true colors. You can’t stop none of that shit. I’m not taking up for my son or anything, I’m just tell you guys facts. I’m doing what any father would do. Being a father in moments like this. Sometimes, you’re proud of your kids. Sometimes, you’re not proud of your kids. At the end of the day, you’re still a father. Hopefully, one day, I can meet Syko Stu and shake his hand and have a man-to-man with him. I’m just going to try to get back to being myself. I don’t have the right words to say, and I know whatever I say, the haters are going to twist my words and say whatever they want to say. I wasn’t there. I was learning at the same rate as everybody else. Then, I got down to the bottom of it and learned there is a lot of misinformation out there. Don’t believe every edit you see. Y’all need to know that I don’t condone Raja’s conduct and I hope Syko Stu can forgive me as a dad for not understanding everything. Let’s see what happens from here.”

In a recent interview with TMZ, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry gave his thoughts about the incident and his belief that Stu shares some of the blame over what happened with him and Raja at the event.

“You’ve got to be careful, one, who you’re messing with, and, two, what kind of example are you as a veteran for inciting a riot with a kid.

If indeed what I saw was what I saw, which is people before the show, during the day time, drinking and intoxicated or partially intoxicated, and you bust a bottle over a guy’s head and talk trash like that guy was not going to do nothing, yeah, you’re at fault.”
