It was revealed earlier today that Aaron Roberts had been released from his deal due to his role in the controversial incident this past weekend.

Knokx Pro removed all mentions of WWE following the incident

WWE's ID program has been seen as a huge success, so this is a significant blow for Oasis and Williams, who were seen as big stars for the future.

Just a day after the Raja Jackson incident went viral, all mentions of World Wrestling Entertainment were removed from KnokX Pro's social media accounts, making it clear that the Stamford-based promotion didn't want to be part of the backlash.

Recent updates suggest that Syko Stu has gained consciousness since the incident, and it seems that he has some recollection of the attack. His brother shared a message on Facebook relaying thanks from Stu for all the online support and noted that a GoFundMe has been set up to help with his hospital fees.

A police investigation is also underway after the incident was filmed and went viral, and several clips from before the match make the attack appear to be premeditated.
