The boundary between reality and entertainment was broken on August 23, 2025, when an incident in the Ring during a Knokx pro-roasting event resulted in one of his grapplers, Stuart Smith, which was admitted to Intensive Care. His family has now given an update on the serious situation that apparently MMA hunter Raja Jackson has injured the wrestler.
Raja Jackson is the son of former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and was supposed to have been a guest at the Knokx Pro Show. He was seen earlier in the day with a fight with Smith, who struggles under the name ‘Syko Stu’, after the Grappler pressed a drink against his head, later apologizing for the incident. Although reports now suggest that this was all part of a set -up for Jackson to interfere with the Smith game later in the show, what then went down seriously and resulted in considerable injury.
In pro wrestling it can be difficult to determine what is real, and what is scripted, but in what was probably a stunt that got out of hand, Raja Jackson interfered later that day in Smith’s match, but instead of bringing fake punches, shows the video that he had a blind grazing of his own blood. Extra images from before the incident seem to show a wrestler that encourages Jackson Backstage to give Smith a “receipt”, wrestling terminology that suggests that you are really back to get your own after you are not respected.
Again, whether this was a ‘work’ or real life was not clear from the time of writing, but what would not have been planned was the cruelty of the alleged attack by Jackson, which was streamed live on Kick for the world to see. According to colleague Pro Wrestler, Douglas Malo, Smith lost various teeth during the attack and was “kept on his own blood” by the time other wrestlers Removed Jackson from the ring. Smith was later taken to the hospital with many struggling fans and feared that he could lose his life.

Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith’s family offers an update after incident with Raja Jackson
“Thank you for all your payers, worries and friendly words for my brother Stu,” wrote the brother of the wrestler, Andrew, via Facebook on August 25. “Please keep him in your prayers. He is currently stable, but in critical care. At the moment we are focused in his recovery And appreciate his thought. “
In the past, Stuart Smith has talked about his life as an American veteran and how getting in the ring helped him to deal with PTSD. In an earlier explanation, Knokx Pro Wrestling said which was initially planned as a pre -planned fight ‘turned into a selfish, irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith. “
Of course, the fading of the lines between ‘real’ battles and pro wrestling is almost as long as the art form itself. In a recent chat with M&FFloyd Mayweather JR revealed how he was encouraged to really hit Paul “Big Show” Wight during a stunt in WWE. The difference here is that civil servants and talent have worked closely to ensure that everyone was aware and was permission. Raja Jackson, however, can be seen more than 20 times that Stuart Smith touches during their fight. This led many fans and observers that everyone called on who became involved in a pro wrestling show to get enough physical training and mental evaluation before he was allowed to step between the ropes. Raja’s father, Quentin Jackson, has also released a statement that calls the incident ‘bad judgment and a work that went wrong’.
The police are now investigating the case.
