The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Raja Jackson, the
son of MMA fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, will be facing
two charges for his role in the beatdown of Syko Stu at the
KnokX Pro Wrestling event this past August.
The 25-year-old will be charged with one count of felony
battery with serious bodily injury and one count of
misdemeanor battery.
Raja made headlines for all the wrong reasons when he
assaulted KnokX Pro wrestler Syko Stu with 22 blows to the
head and face in what was supposed to be just a run-in angle
to play off an earlier incident between the two where Stu
smashed a beer bottle on Raja’s head.
He was arrested last month and held on a $50,000 bond, which
was posted later in the night.
The LA Times adds that prosecutors will seek a sentencing
enhancement because of the great bodily injury he inflicted
on Stu, real name Stuart Smith.
A criminal complaint is expected to be filed Tuesday,
according to the district attorney’s office.
KnokX Pro Wrestling, owned by WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi,
lost its WWE ID status as part of the whole incident.
