Rusev, Hyan, More React To Raja Jackson Attack On Syko Stu At KnokX Pro Event
The wrestling world has begun to react to an incident at a KnokX Pro event.
The wrestling world reacts to a scary incident involving Raja Jackson at KnokX Pro.
On Saturday evening, during a KnokX Pro event, Rampage Jackson’s son Raja would storm the ring, slamming a wrestler to the ground before beating him senseless in a scary attack. While there was some background issues relating to the situation, there was no condoning Raja’s actions following the violent attack.
Since the clip of the attack began to go viral, several wrestlers, including WWE’s Rusev and indie star Hyan, would react to the footage. You can check out reactions from around the wrestling world below.
I’ve known and trained with @SykoStu for 15 years. He is a former US Army veteran and amazing guy. There are no excuses for what happened in that ring. Praying for strong Kick out.

Hyan would label the behavior ‘disgusting’ and ‘traumatizing’.
I’ve seen the clips. That behavior is disgusting and charges should be pressed. My thoughts are with Syko Stu and his family. That shit is legitimately traumatizing

Nixi Xs also weighed in, noting that wrestling is all about trust and consent.

Shit hurts, accidents happen, things go awry, receipts get thrown… but everyone is meant to come out alive to wrestle another day
To see someone take advantage of that and attempt *murder* to feed their ego is revolting https://t.co/M5gP2QR4vI

Trevor Lee insisted wrestlers learn to protect themselves to avoid this happening to them.
Seeing what happened last night makes me sick for the business.
Wrestlers learn to protect yourselves because these promoters do not give a fuck about protecting you.

Tom Lawlor would also react to the aftermath where the count would still be administered after the attack.
Seriously
They STILL PINNED Syko Stu after Raja Jackson assaulted him?
This is fucking DEPLORABLE.

Royce Issacs would also comment Lawlor’s video, chastising those who prioritised counting the pinfall over providing treatment to Syko Stu in the ring.
Some things are bigger than wrestling, if you thought getting/counting the pinfall took precedence over the actual situation at hand then in ring/behind the curtain isnt for you
Wrestling is for everyone, but most peoples role should be buying a ticket and standing in the crowd https://t.co/y2Dtg2Ykjk— Royce Isaacs • ロイスアイザックス (@RoyceIsaacs) August 25, 2025
Former WWE superstar Chris Masters proposed an industry wide ban for Raja Jackson in the world of pro wrestling.
Raja Jackson shouldn’t be able to be in or attend ANY wrestling event going forward.
You’re not welcome in our world!— Chris Masters (@ChrisAdonis) August 24, 2025
Matt Farmer of DEFY Wrestling also reacted to the footage of the pinfall being counted after the assault.
This is ridiculous.
The ONLY people who did the right thing in this scenario are the wrestlers who grabbed Raja. https://t.co/kAMFMNTqjE
