Raja Jackson, a popular streamer and the son of former UFC fighter Rampage Jackson, has denied charges of assaulting a professional wrestler while streaming live.
On August 23rd, Jackson unexpectedly entered the ring during a live stream on Kick and attacked wrestler Syko Stu (Stewart Smith) with several punches.
This latest incident happened after Stu initially believed Jackson’s presence was staged as part of the show, and playfully pretended to throw a beer at him. They quickly smoothed things over, but event organizers apparently tried to build a rivalry between them for entertainment. However, when Jackson re-entered the ring, the attacks were genuine and not part of the performance.
Stu sustained severe facial injuries and has reportedly stopped wrestling as a result.
I couldn’t believe it when I heard Jackson was arrested almost a month later, in September. Then, just a little over a week after that, on October 9th, he actually had to appear in court in Los Angeles. It was all so fast!
According to court records obtained by USA Today, Jackson is charged with one felony count of battery causing injury and one misdemeanor battery charge. The misdemeanor charge relates to a separate incident where wrestler Douglas Malo intervened to stop an attack.
Prosecutors want Raja Jackson in jail for 7 years
Jackson could face up to four years in prison if convicted of the felony charge. However, prosecutors are asking for an additional penalty that could extend the sentence to seven years. He also faces a separate, lesser charge that carries a potential jail sentence of up to six months.
Jackson has entered a plea of not guilty and is scheduled to return to court on November 24th at the San Fernando Courthouse in Los Angeles. At that hearing, a judge will decide whether there’s enough evidence to proceed with a trial.
The 25-year-old streamer didn’t say anything during the court hearing, and his lawyer, Michael Freedman, declined to make any statements other than confirming a not guilty plea.
Numerous clips from Raja’s livestream of the incident have circulated on social media. One video, recorded shortly before the fight, shows Jackson telling his audience he’d always wanted to attack a professional wrestler and that he intended to physically assault him.
Raja Jackson planned to seriously harm someone, specifically a professional wrestler. He made statements indicating his intent, including saying he’d always wanted to injure a wrestler and that the attack wouldn’t even hurt the victim. His actions appear to stem from feeling humiliated by comments made by his online audience.

Man, I was shocked to hear about the attack – KnokX Pro called it a totally selfish and irresponsible act, and I agree. It’s kinda weird, though – I remember they used to be connected to WWE’s development program, but it looks like they’ve been quietly separating themselves from the company since then. It’s a shame, really.
As of today, a GoFundMe campaign to help with Stu’s medical bills has raised almost $225,000.
Kick banned Jackson’s account shortly after the viral altercation.
