Raja Jackson has reportedly reached a plea deal with prosecutors to resolve the criminal case stemming from his August 2025 attack on indie wrestler Syko Stu.<\/p>\n

The California Post reports that, per a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office, Jackson is pleading no contest to the felony count<\/a> of battery with serious bodily injury that he is facing. Sentencing will not happen until late June, but it\u2019s expected that Jackson will have to serve 90 days in county jail, along with paying restitution to Stu and receiving two years probation.<\/p>\n

Jackson, the son of UFC legend Quinton \u201cRampage\u201d Jackson, will be paying the restitution amount of $81,703.38 before he is sentenced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 26-year-old pleaded no contest to one felony count of battery with serious bodily injury at a preliminary hearing setting after striking the agreement with officials, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office told The California Post,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaja also admitted to two special allegations, including personal infliction of great bodily injury and engaging in violent conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

The attack took place at an event for KnokX Pro Wrestling in Los Angeles last summer, with video of the incident going viral on social media. A GoFundMe campaign for Stu\u2019s recovery expenses raised nearly $225,000. Among the top donors was YouTuber Mr. Beast, who was touched by Stu\u2019s story of being a military veteran who was using pro wrestling as an outlet to deal with his PTSD.<\/p>\n

Jackson, a streamer on the platform Kick, repeatedly punched Stu in the head and bloodied him in the attack, which took place after Stu had struck Jackson in the head with a beer can earlier in the night.<\/p>\n

Stu (Stuart Smith) appeared at a meet and greet for KnokX Pro<\/a> in Las Vegas during WrestleMania week last month.<\/p>\n

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, one of the founders of KnokX Pro, announced this week that he is stepping away from the wrestling school\/promotion<\/a>.<\/p>\n
