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 August. Stu was released from the hospital this past August and has been recovering at his home. Jackson was arrested and charged with felony battery this past September. WWE had pulled their WWE ID affiliation with KnokX Pro following the incident.
