Rampage Jackson Upset After Son’s Wrestling Incident Sparks Outrage
Hey everyone, you’ve probably heard about the shocking story involving Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and his son, Raja Jackson. It’s been making waves online, and honestly, it’s one of those situations that leaves you stunned once you see what went down.
So here’s the story in plain terms. Over the weekend, during a wrestling event in Sun Valley, California, Raja Jackson – who is a professional MMA fighter, not a trained wrestler – somehow ended up in the middle of a live match and allegedly attacked a wrestler named Stuart Smith, who wrestles under the name Syko Stu. Footage from the show, which was live-streamed on the platform Kick, shows Raja jumping into the ring, slamming Smith to the mat, and then repeatedly punching him, even when Smith appeared motionless. Other wrestlers eventually restrained Raja, but the video alone was enough to shock viewers.

Rampage Jackson, Raja’s father and former UFC champion, responded publicly the next day. He said he did not condone his son’s actions at all and expressed that he was “very upset.” He explained that Raja had suffered a concussion just a few days earlier while sparring, so he “had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.” Rampage also emphasized his concern for both his son’s health and Smith’s well-being, apologizing on Raja’s behalf to the organizers of the event, KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy.
The organizers themselves described the incident as something that started as a planned wrestling spot – which in wrestling is called a “work” – but quickly spiraled out of control. They called Raja’s actions “selfish” and “irresponsible,” stressing that in 17 years of running the academy, nothing like this had ever happened before. Fans and participants were left shaken, especially because children were reportedly in attendance during the chaos.
Some context from the live stream helps explain how things escalated. Earlier backstage, Stuart Smith struck Raja on the side of the head with a beer can. Raja was reportedly told he could get “payback” in the ring, and thinking it was part of the show, he went along with it. But once the match started, Raja’s reaction went far beyond what was planned. Wrestlers had to intervene to stop him after he landed more than twenty punches on a motionless Smith. Smith was hospitalized with facial fractures and lost teeth, though he was reportedly awake and talking the following day.
Rampage’s post on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted that his son is an MMA fighter, not a professional wrestler, and had absolutely no business being involved in such an event. He described it as “bad judgment” and a “work that went wrong.” Veteran wrestling journalists and eyewitnesses called it one of the most disturbing things they had ever seen in the ring, and some are even calling for legal action against those responsible for encouraging Raja to act.
It’s a tense situation that has left the wrestling and MMA communities talking. At the center of it all is a cautionary tale about blurred lines between scripted entertainment and real violence – and the serious consequences that can follow when those lines are crossed.
This incident isn’t just about a fight; it’s about responsibility, safety, and the ripple effects that can occur when judgment fails. Everyone involved is being closely watched, and we’ll likely hear more updates in the coming days.
