Raja Jackson is out of jail. The son of MMA legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday, September 29, after completing the 90-day sentence for his August 2025 attack on Syko Stu, PWInsider reported.
Jackson, 26, pleaded no contest in May to one felony count of battery with serious bodily injury. He also admitted to personal infliction of great bodily injury and engaging in violent conduct, as part of his plea deal.
The jail time began after a July 2 court appearance. The deal also requires two years of probation and $81,703.38 in restitution to Stuart Smith, who wrestles as Syko Stu. The jail portion of the case is over, but the probation period is still ahead.
How The Case Got Here
At the August 2025 KnokX Pro Wrestling event, Jackson, who was streaming on KICK, entered the ring during Smith’s match, threw him to the mat and landed roughly 20 punches before wrestlers and security forced him off. Smith was unconscious and was taken to a hospital. KICK later banned Jackson from its platform.
Before the show, Smith, who may have been in character, crushed a beer can against Jackson’s head. Jackson said on his stream that promoters told him to hit Smith, and that he planned to hit him for real. Rampage Jackson later said his son was involved in a work that went wrong.
Smith spoke at the July 2 sentencing hearing. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, he described treatment for a severe traumatic brain injury, a shattered maxilla and a bone graft procedure, along with memory loss and reduced cognitive function that kept him from working for nearly a year. Even so, he told the court, “I hold no grudges against Mr. Jackson.” Smith has since announced his retirement from the ring.
The fallout reached KnokX Pro itself. Rikishi announced in May that he was stepping away from KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, the school he founded in 2009. WWE removed KnokX Pro from its WWE ID system after the incident.
