Kick streamer Raja "Rajaplus" Jackson, popularly known as the son of former MMA fighter Quintin "Rampage" Jackson, allegedly assaulted professional wrestler Stuart "Syko Stu" Smith during a recent match that the latter was a part of, with a clip of the encounter going viral online. Rajaplus, an active professional MMA fighter himself, was seen picking up and slamming Smith to the ground before punching him repeatedly until the latter was seemingly unconscious, continuing to do so even afterward until he was pulled away. This happened during an August 23, 2025, Knockx Pro Wrestling match featuring Smith, where Raja had been streaming from the ring-side.

Syko Stu is an independent wrestler from California. A United States Army veteran, he started with Knockx Pro in 2009 after getting out of the military, and wrestling allowed him to focus on something new and helped him readjust to civilian life. Notably, Smith also suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from his time in the military.

What is the current state of Syko Stu following Rajaplus' alleged attack?

Smith had allegedly had a face-off against Raja ahead of their topical altercation, where he seemingly slammed a beer can against the side of the latter's head. He had claimed at the time that he felt the latter had been acting as if the meeting was part of a shoot since Raja had a cameraperson nearby. However, Smith later apologized to Raja for the supposed misunderstanding, and the two had even shaken hands prior to the attack in the ring.

Later, during Smith's wrestling match, the promoters had supposedly allowed Rajaplus to join the fray temporarily to get in a few hits. However, the altercation was reportedly not meant to go as far as it did. After being thrashed by Rajaplus, Syko Stu was said to have been knocked out cold, with twenty-odd punches thrown at him while he was seemingly not conscious.

Reportedly, he was rushed to the hospital following the attack, appearing injured and bleeding after the barrage of punches thrown by Raja. As per a statement made by Rampage Jackson on X, Smith is, as of this writing, "awake and stable."
