"Raja Jackson, the son of retired MMA legend Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, will face multiple criminal charges in connection to an assault that took place during a professional wrestling event in August in Los Angeles. Jackson, 25, will face one count of felony battery that caused serious bodily injury and one count of misdemeanor battery, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office told the L.A. Times. A formal criminal complaint has not yet appeared in online records, but is expected this week."
"Jackson, who was scheduled to appear in a staged match, slammed wrestler Stuart Smith (also known as Syko Stu) to the ground and continued to strike him even after it appeared he was unconscious. In a live stream prior to the event, Jackson said he intended to get revenge on Smith, for a brief altercation between the two earlier that day. Smith had hit Jackson with a beer can as an apparent alteration to promote the event."
