Syko Stu Reflects on Raja Jackson Attack Incident

In August 2025, Syko Stu, also known as Stuart Smith, experienced a life-altering incident when Raja Jackson attacked him during an independent wrestling show. The assault left Smith unconscious and caused significant facial injuries.

Following the attack, Jackson, the son of UFC fighter Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, reached a plea deal in May and served a 90-day jail sentence, being released on September 29. He is required to pay over $81,000 in restitution to Smith and will be on probation for two years.

In his first interview on the SOSPodcast, Smith shared that he struggles to recall the details of that night due to the trauma. He mentioned a planned wrestling angle involving a beer can, which escalated unexpectedly. Smith acknowledged his part in the situation, noting that he did not anticipate the attack after they had previously shaken hands.
