Raja Jackson has been arrested 24 days after an attack on a wrestler at an independent show in California.<\/p>\n
According to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office records, Jackson was arrested Thursday by police. The exact charge or charges are not known at this time, but Jackson’s arrest is listed as felony level. He is currently being held on $50,000 bail. TMZ Sports<\/a> first reported the developments.<\/p>\n Jackson, a professional MMA fighter and the 25-year-old son of UFC legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, attacked Stuart Smith (also known in-ring as Syko Stu) during a wrestling match at a KnokX professional wrestling event in Sun Valley, Calif. Jackson streamed the entire outing, including the lead-up and aftermath, on the streaming platform Kick.<\/p>\n Jackson was expected to interfere with Smith’s match as part of the show. However, after he entered the ring, Jackson hit Smith with a real slam \u2013 and approximately 20 punches to Smith’s unconscious face.<\/p>\n Jackson had taken exception to Smith hitting him in the head with a beer can before the event. Smith apologized to Jackson shortly after the incident, saying he thought Jackson was a wrestler and thought they were hyping the show. The two eventually shook hands.<\/p>\n In the time between the handshake and the attack, Jackson fumed on live stream. He said that he planned to hit Smith “for real,” which he did repeatedly as horrified and confused onlookers watched.<\/p>\n Eventually, other wrestlers, including Douglas Malo, intervened as\u00a0Smith coughed blood, choked on his teeth,<\/a>\u00a0and convulsed on the canvas.<\/p>\n Malo criticized the promotion’s handling of the situation in a recent interview, during which he and a former wrestling coworker claimed KnokX discouraged its current squad of wrestlers from speaking on the incident, even to police.<\/p>\n Smith was released from the hospital Sept. 2 and has yet to publicly comment on the incident.<\/p>\n Jackson had not commented on the incident since his stream ended that night.<\/p>\n
