Several updates have emerged since news first broke on Saturday evening about a vicious incident at a Knokx Wrestling event in Los Angeles.

As previously reported here on Turnbuckle Times, Independent Wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith was severely beaten by MMA fighter Raja Jackson, son of MMA legend Rampage Jackson, on August 23rd.

Social media and the wrestling community have been in an uproar since the incident, with a few blaming Stuart for what happened; however, most are disgusted by Jackson’s actions!

Stuart Smith’s brother, Andrew Smith, gave an update on his brother’s condition, saying he sustained “severe head injuries,” but is “conscious and able to talk.” A GoFundMe has been made to cover the wrestlers’ uncovered medical expenses, recovery support, and loss of income.

Doug Malo, the wrestler that saved Smith, also known as “The Epic,” has also spoke out and explained his take on the horrific incident. When appearing on the “Scaling Up Podcast,” Malo stated, “I think he would’ve killed him! I promise you he would’ve killed him.”

LAPD has also launched an investigation into the incident. Raja Jackson has not made a public statement since the incident. As the investigation is pending, no charges have been brought against Jackson.

As of Monday, August 25, WWE has appeared to cut ties with Knokx Pro Wrestling and its training academy. WWE has removed the school from its official Talent Recruitment website. The California-based promotion, which was previously recognized as one of WWE’s partner schools, is no longer listed.

New allegations have also surfaced in the aftermath of the incident. Two wrestlers with the promotion have claimed that Knokx Pro is discouraging students from cooperating with authorities and their investigation of the matter!
