Brutal Beatdown at Wrestling Event Sparks LAPD Investigation

Jaden Patel here, your favorite deadpan observer of life’s more questionable decisions. Today’s episode? A wrestling event that somehow turned into a scene from *The Condemned*—and no, it wasn’t scripted.
Let’s set the stage: a private wrestling match at KnokX Pro Academy in Los Angeles, kids in the audience, families cheering, popcorn flying—not because of stunts, but because someone lost their mind mid-match.
Enter Raja Jackson, son of former UFC light heavyweight champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. Now, if you’re thinking, “Wait, isn’t Rampage known for keeping things intense inside the octagon?” Yeah, well, his son might’ve taken that a bit too literally.
According to the LAPD, they were called in after an incident Saturday night where Raja allegedly continued to pummel an unconscious opponent, Syko Stu, long after the fight—or whatever was supposed to be choreographed—had ended. Video footage circulating online shows Raja raining down punches on a motionless Syko while others scrambled to pull him off. The result? A trip to the hospital for Syko, who reportedly is recovering.
Now, we all love a good heel turn in wrestling, but this wasn’t part of the show. In fact, the organizers at KnokX Pro made it crystal clear—they said Raja’s actions were “selfish and irresponsible,” and he’s now officially banned from future events.
Douglas Malo, a wrestler with KnokX Pro, was among those who tried to intervene. He told TMZ he rushed into the ring to stop Raja, only to get attacked himself—yes, with a double-leg takedown attempt. Malo described the moment as “tragic” and “barbaric,” especially considering the family-friendly crowd, including his own mother, watching live.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson issued a public apology, stating Raja had no business being involved in a pro wrestling event and that he doesn’t condone his son’s behavior “AT ALL.” Raja, meanwhile, has stayed silent despite the viral backlash.
So what happens next? Well, the LAPD is investigating, and depending on what surveillance footage and witness statements reveal, there could be legal consequences. Whether this ends in a courtroom or just a career detour remains to be seen.
But hey, if nothing else, it’s a reminder: just because you can throw a punch doesn’t mean you should throw away common sense—and maybe also not another human being’s dignity.
Well, there you have it. Another day, another headline written in bruises.
