Raja Jackson, the 25-year-old son of former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, was arrested on September 18, 2025, and charged with a felony following a violent attack on independent wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith. Jackson is accused of assaulting Smith during a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles in late August 2025.
Details of the incident and arrest:
- The attack: A video showed Jackson slamming Smith to the mat during a planned segment and then repeatedly punching him while he was unconscious.
- Smith’s injuries: Smith was hospitalized with a fractured maxilla bone and other facial injuries.
- Initial altercation: The incident reportedly stemmed from an earlier, staged interaction where Smith smashed a beer can on Jackson’s head as part of the performance. Witnesses say that despite an apology from Smith, Jackson was later heard on a private stream indicating he wanted payback.
- Rampage Jackson’s response: Raja’s father, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, condemned his son’s actions and stated that he should face legal consequences, including jail time, community service, and anger management classes.
- Felony charge and bail: Following an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, Jackson was taken into custody and booked on a felony charge. He is being held on $50,000 bail.
