• Charges Against Raja Jackson Revealed – More Trouble Coming
Raja Jackson, son of UFC Legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, is expected to be formally charged with one count of felony battery causing serious bodily injury and one count of misdemeanor battery following his violent attack on independent wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, according to LA Times.
The incident occurred during a KnokX Pro Wrestling event on August 23, when what was supposed to be a staged spot turned into a real and brutal assault. Prosecutors say Jackson body-slammed Smith and delivered more than 20 punches to his head and face – many continuing after Smith appeared to be unconscious.
Smith suffered serious injuries: several lost teeth, a fractured maxilla bone, and a laceration to his lip. He was hospitalized but later released.
Jackson was arrested in September and was released on a $50,000 bail.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office is also expected to pursue a sentencing enhancement due to the severity of Smith’s injuries – potentially elevating Jackson’s penalties.
According to reports, the altercation was triggered when Smith struck Jackson with a beer can before the show as he was trying to work an angle. Though Smith apologized multiple times soon after this, tensions escalated during the show.
What was intended to be a planned interference quickly turned violent – Jackson reportedly went beyond what was scripted, leading to the onslaught.

• WWE’s Possible Plan For Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 42
In the main event of WrestleMania 41 – Night 1, Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins took place. Paul Heyman turned his back on both Punk and Reigns in this match and joined forces with Rollins. Rollins pinned Reigns to win the match.
Reigns has been feuding with The Vision ever since, as he was taken out by Rollins and Bron Breakker on the RAW after WrestleMania 41.
Roman faced Vision member Bronson Reed at Clash In Paris and was victorious. However, Breakker and Reed destroyed him after the match. Reigns will have a rematch against Reed this Saturday at Crown Jewel: Perth, where they will square off in an Australian Street Fight.
The eventual plan for this feud is a singles match between Reigns and Rollins. According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE is likely saving Reigns vs. Rollins for WrestleMania 42, since Roman will be in the WarGames match at Survivor Series 2025 and he will be in the 30-man Royal Rumble 2026 match in Saudi Arabia next year, leaving WrestleMania 42 as the next “Big 4” PLE for this showdown.
The issues between Reigns and Rollins began in 2014, when Rollins turned his back on The Shield. While Roman has defeated Seth in a singles match on TV many times, he has never defeated the current World Heavyweight Champion in a PLE match.
