The recent violent altercation involving professional wrestler Syko Stu, also known as Stuart Smith, and Raja Jackson at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event has raised serious concerns across the sports and entertainment sectors.
Syko Stu’s Current Medical Condition and Hospitalization
Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith found himself hospitalized after the attack and is currently receiving critical care. His injuries are severe, comprising multiple fractures to the facial bones and the loss of several teeth. A fellow wrestler at the venue described his condition in unsettling detail:
“He was choking on his own blood and teeth” — Douglas Malo, fellow wrestler
Despite the gravity of his injuries, Smith is now reportedly conscious, stable, and capable of speaking. Medical staff are vigilantly observing his recovery, and there were early hopes for his prompt release, although official word on his discharge status is still awaited.
The wrestler whom Raja Jackson attacked was a former Army veteran who endured PTSD and turned to Pro Wrestling as a means to escape his personal struggles.
Prayers, Syko Stu. 🙏

The Shocking Incident: From Scripted Spot to Real Violence
The assault took place on August 23, 2025, during a live-streamed event in Los Angeles. Although Raja Jackson’s involvement was intended to be a staged wrestling segment, it rapidly transformed into an unscripted and brutal assault. Jackson threw Syko Stu to the mat and repeatedly punched his head while he was defenseless. The promotion strongly denounced the incident, declaring:
“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
