Following his assault on professional wrestler Syko Stu, all went quiet on the Raja Jackson front. Questions were raised about what would happen to Rampage Jackson’s son, but silence began clouding the devastating attack, until now.
Sports entertainers are known for their ability to work the audience and turn scripted storylines into what seem like real-life feuds. However, that wasn’t the case when Raja Jackson stormed into the KnokX Pro Wrestling ring and brutally assaulted a performer and former military veteran, Stuart Smith.
The footage recorded through Jackson’s Kick page was met with warranted anger from viewers. The sickening act of violence almost cost a man his life, and many were calling for the 25-year-old’s head.
Several unfortunate events followed, somewhat forcing Stuart Smith’s assault out of the public eye, though that has now changed. As reported by TMZ Sports, Raja Jackson has now been arrested almost a month after virtually beating a man to death.
Jackson was taken into custody in the early hours of Thursday, September 18, and is being held on a $50,000 bond.
The LAPD precinct in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California, is where he is currently being held amid his felony charges.

Directly following the attack in August, the professional MMA fighter showed zero remorse for what he had just done. Outrage ensued, with fans and UFC fighters calling for his arrest, which has now finally come.
Surprisingly, the assailant’s father, Rampage Jackson, not only condemned his son’s actions but also called for him to spend some time in jail.
Most will rejoice at the news and can add it to the wave of positive updates regarding the case. With Raja Jackson now jailed and Stuart Smith on the mend since his release from the hospital, justice is starting to prevail after the vile scenes from just a month ago.
