Raja Jackson was arrested on September 18 and booked on suspicion of felony assault. The arrest comes nearly a month after he attacked an independent pro wrestler during a live Kick stream at a wrestling event. He’s being held on a $50,000 bond.
It went down in mid-August during an independent wrestling show. Video footage shows Jackson entering the ring and repeatedly striking the wrestler, who goes by the ring name Syko Stu. The attack continued even after the performer appeared unable to defend himself.
Jackson kept hitting the wrestler while event staff and other wrestlers rushed to intervene. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment. While initial reports were concerning, the wrestler survived the attack.
The entire assault was broadcast live on Kick, with clips spreading rapidly across social media platforms. The video clearly shows Jackson speaking before the attack, then delivering multiple strikes to the wrestler’s head and body.
Raja Jackson is the son of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, the former UFC light heavyweight champion and PRIDE veteran. Rampage is a well-known figure in combat sports and has appeared on various streaming platforms himself.
The month-long gap between the attack and the arrest likely gave investigators time to review evidence and coordinate with prosecutors. In California, where the attack reportedly happened, assault cases involving serious injuries can result in felony charges.
Pro wrestling relies on choreographed moves and trained performers who know how to protect each other. When untrained individuals attack with real force, the results can be devastating. Wrestling promotions typically have strict security protocols to prevent exactly this type of incident.
Jackson now faces the legal process ahead. If prosecutors file formal felony assault charges, he could face significant prison time. The exact charges and potential sentence will depend on the severity of the victim’s injuries and other factors.
The $50,000 bond suggests authorities view this as a serious offense. Bail amounts consider factors like flight risk, criminal history, and public safety concerns.
