Footage of Raja, Rampage Jackson’s son, hopping into the ring and punching wrestler Syko Stu in the face several times has been circulating. Many initially claimed that Syko Stu died in the ring, but is that actually true?
Several hits to the face left the wrestler bloodied, with referees eventually stepping in to pull Raja off of Stu. However, the footage cut off with the wrestler lying on the ground, completely unconcious.
While some element of staging and theatrics is involved in wrestling, it was clear to people involved that things got taken too far.

So, how’s Syko Stu doing? And what caused Raja to hit him so aggressively in the first place?
Is Syko Stu alive?
Yes, Syko Stu is alive. The news was confirmed by Rampage Jackson, with him saying that Syko Stu (also known as Stewart Smith) is awake and stable.
However, no other information about his condition was given, and he hasn’t spoken out himself publicly since the incident. So, while he’s alive, it’s not clear what state he’s in and when he’s expected to recover.

What caused the fight between Raja and Syko Stu?
When Raja showed up at the event, Syko Stu smashed a drink over his head. Raja was streaming the whole thing, and, considering he had a camera crew following him around, Stu thought it was part of the show.
He purposely crushed the beer can in his hand instead of hitting Raja’s head with the full force of the blow and got in his face to try and play it up and call him out for not “selling the hit” to his head. However, when he was told that Raja wasn’t part of the show, he apologized profusely for the misunderstanding.

Stu believed it was all good from there, and, according to Raja, promoters encouraged him to head into the ring to try and make him part of the storyline.
From there, however, he took things further than anyone expected, resulting in the clip that went viral on social media and eventually resulted in him getting banned from Kick. Raja threw Stu and punched him in the face over a dozen times, to the point where there was blood pouring out of his nose.

He then left the event, saying on stream that he’s “tired of everyone playing with me,” and that he felt like he needed to stand up for himself.

Other wrestlers chased him down, with Raja’s cameraman having to physically push him away to avoid another altercation.
Rumors that Stu died came from a phone call he had a short time after, with the man on the other side of the line claiming that the wrestler was “flatlined” in the ring and that they couldn’t wake him up.

It’s not yet clear if Stu plans to press charges against Raja and whether or not this could result in legal trouble for him.
