Sean Strickland may have opened up some not-so-old wounds for Rampage Jackson and his son, Raja Jackson, with his comments of late. In August last year, Raja assaulted pro wrestler Stuart Smith, aka ‘Syko Stu,’ during a KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy show. What was supposed to be a scripted encounter left Smith bloodied, unconscious, and motionless. 

Smith suffered serious injuries, including fractured facial bones, lost teeth, and a lacerated lip, after he choked on his own blood. He was hospitalized for about a week in stable but critical condition initially, then released to recover at home. Over eight months after the incident, ‘Tarzan’ is blaming Rampage Jackson for it, highlighting how he bullies his son. 

“I feel so bad for Rampage’s kid,” Sean Strickland said during a KICK livestream with Nina Drama. “The sad thing, he posted where the dad is shaming him for not getting a pu—y. Did you see it? I mean, it was funny. So, like, the kid’s in there, and Rampage is like, you don’t get pu—y? Like, you live with me, son. You don’t get no f—king pu—y? 

“And then, Rampage’s, like, f—king, you know, demon son. You know, he has a demon, he’s not a demon. He was like, he was like, no, dad, I get pu—y, dad? You’re just not around. And Rampage is just, like, shaming this f—king kid. And I’m like, Rampage, this is why your kid almost f—king mu—ered a man. Because you f—king bully him and shame him all the time.”

It’s worth noting that before the incident, Stuart Smith thought Raja Jackson was also a wrestler and smashed a beer can over his head. Rampage Jackson used it to ragebait his son and egged him on for getting jumped. And in the clips of the incident, Raja can be heard saying, “Watch, my father can never call me a b—ch,” before attacking Smith. 

While there are several instances of Rampage Jackson “bullying” his son, the one Sean Strickland is referring to is from before Raja attacked Smith. Rampage Jackson was doing a live stream with his son when they were debating over who gets more girls. In any case, you must be wondering what happened to Jackson after he attacked Smith.

Latest update on the Raja Jackson-Syko Stu case

Raja Jackson was, of course, arrested after the attack in September 2025. He was facing felony charges, including one count of battery causing serious bodily injury and one misdemeanor battery. KICK, in the meantime, had already banned him from streaming on their platform due to the violent attack and streaming it live on KICK.

After his arrest, Raja Jackson posted $50,000 bail and pleaded not guilty in October 2025. The case appears to be still open, and he had a court date scheduled for March. However, there doesn’t appear to be a final verdict or sentencing reported. In the meantime, back in February, Rampage Jackson claimed his son wants to make a comeback to streaming.

Despite that, Raja Jackson has remained largely radio silent, and no timeline for his return to streaming has been revealed. He can’t make his comeback on KICK since he was banned, so it’s yet to be seen what’s next for the disgraced son of Rampage Jackson.

That said, former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland appears to have sparked renewed scrutiny surrounding both Raja Jackson and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson with his recent comments.
