Rampage Jackson’s son faces backlash, investigations, and a fundraising campaign to cover the injured wrestler’s recovery costs.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s son, Raja Jackson, went viral after a shocking clip showed him brutally attacking independent wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith during a pro wrestling event. The short video spread quickly, with headlines framing Raja as the aggressor. However, the full hour and 45-minute Kick livestream paints a more complicated picture of escalating misunderstandings, questionable decisions, and blurred lines between performance and reality.
The livestream shows Raja arriving at the event to support his coach, AJ Manna, who introduced Raja to other wrestlers backstage. An interaction with Syko Stu, who appeared intoxicated and “in character,” sparked tension, though wrestlers tried to calm Raja down by framing it as a misunderstanding on Smiths part. In an effort to smooth things over, organizers suggested Raja join the performance, but as an MMA fighter with no training in choreographed wrestling, he was unprepared for how to handle the situation once in the ring.
When Raja finally entered, things spiraled out of control. A head slam left Stu unconscious, but Raja continued punching before wrestlers rushed in to stop him. Rampage Jackson later called it a “work that went wrong,” stressing his son’s recent concussion and Stu’s serious injuries. Since then, Raja’s Kick account has been banned, LAPD is investigating, and a GoFundMe—boosted by a $10,000 donation from MrBeast—is helping cover Stu’s recovery, highlighting how a night meant for entertainment became a dangerous and costly incident.
