Ari Emanuel possibly livid over WWE's association with Raja Jackson controversy, feels wrestling veteran (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently discussed Ari Emanuel's potential reaction to the Raja Jackson controversy. The MMA fighter was in the headlines after attacking a wrestler.

During an indie event at KnokX Pro Wrestling this past week, Jackson showed up and launched a brutal assault on Skyo Stu. The seeds were sown during a confrontation between the two stars before the show, and Jackson was told to get a "receipt." Raja, the son of renowned MMA fighter Rampage Jackson, viciously planted Stu with a Spinebuster and unleashed several stiff blows to the head. Syko Stu was severely injured and hospitalized after the attack.

This week on BroDown with host Mac Davis, Russo pointed out that nobody was talking about the implications for WWE. He noted that the TKO-led promotion was affiliated with KnokX Pro Wrestling through its ID program. He felt Ari Emanuel and other top executives would be shocked after reviewing the footage and question whose idea it was to be associated with the indie promotion.

"Here's another part of the story that nobody is talking that blows my mind. Bro, the WWE was affiliated with this company. Can you imagine? All the videos we saw this week. Can you imagine Ari Emanuel and the executives at TKO seeing the same things we saw and then saying, 'Who made the decision that it was a good idea for our company to be associated with them?'"

Stu is currently hospitalized, recovering from the injuries sustained during the attack. Although he took some brutal shots, the star is out of danger.

Russo emphasized that the Raja Jackson incident could damage WWE’s credibility and suggested that Ari Emanuel would demand accountability for the company's association with KnokX Pro.
