Notably, the fundraiser was started by an individual named Contessa Patterson. The description stated that the donations would be used to cover the medical bills, income loss, and support Stu’s recovery.

The GoFundMe page additionally expressed gratitude to everyone for their help and continued:

“He was involved in an unscripted assault that has left him in the hospital with intense recovery needed to regain good health. Stuart Smith is a U.S. Army veteran who used wrestling as an outlet to deal with his PTSD, this incident has not only caused major physical harm, but will also disrupt his career inside the ring and outside of it.”

The fundraiser aims to accumulate $60,000, and donations of more than $40,000 have been made, as of this writing. The wrestling event was held in Los Angeles, and the entire moment of Syko Stu being knocked out was recorded on camera, as the event was live-streaming on Kick.

According to People magazine, the live video featured Raja Jackson hitting Syko Stu on the mat after picking up the latter above his head. Raja then seemingly punched Syko several times until Stu was unable to move, and a few wrestlers intervened to stop Jackson.

Raja’s alleged attack on Syko emerged from a dispute between the duo that happened before the match.

Raja Jackson’s father, Rampage, also addressed the incident through a lengthy statement on X on August 24, 2025. Rampage apologized on behalf of his son and added:

“I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact. As a father, im deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith. That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery.”

Meanwhile, an insider for TMZ claimed that the organizers of the Knokx Pro wrestling match will allegedly not let Raja Jackson participate in their event from now on.
