Rampage Jackson is not holding back after all the backlash he got after his son, Raja Jackson, brutally attacked Syko Stu. Unsurprisingly, he has blamed Syko Stu for starting the whole ordeal.
Rampage Jackson took to his Instagram and went on a huge rant after his son Raja attacked Syko Stu, saying the whole situation went too far. He admitted Raja crossed the line and said he was angry at how his son handled it.
But he also explained that things started when Syko Stu, who was drunk, hit Raja over the head with a real beer can while Raja was live streaming. After that, Knox set up a plan to let Raja get his revenge in the ring.
“This has gone way too far. I’m sick of staying quiet while people with no clue fall for clickbait. Yes—my son Raja crossed the line, and I’m furious at him for how he handled things. But let’s be real: if Psycho Stu hadn’t been drunk and smashed a real beer can over my son’s head while he was live streaming, Knox wouldn’t have felt the need to set up Raja’s ‘get back’ in the ring.”
Jackson said Raja should have gone to the police about the beer can, which could have stopped the event and even led to a lawsuit. Instead, Raja joined the storyline, which Jackson said was not smart. Now his family is getting racist threats because of false stories online. Some people think Raja ran into the ring and attacked Stu without permission, but Jackson said it was staged, though Raja still went too far.
Rampage explained that Raja only agreed after Stu apologized while drunk and was told he could fight him as part of the story. Jackson also said witnesses know this was not the first time Stu caused trouble while drunk backstage.
“If my son had gone straight to the police after the beer can incident, the whole event could have been shut down and he could’ve sued. But no—he didn’t make the smartest choice. Now, because of all the misinformation people are spreading just to make money, my family and I are getting racist threats. Some folks actually believe Raja just stormed into the ring and attacked Stu without permission. Get real—it was staged. Raja took it too far, but he only shook Stu’s hand and accepted his drunken apology because they told him he could be part of the storyline. They told him he could rough Stu up—I have witnesses. And this isn’t the first time Stu’s been drunk and reckless backstage.”
Jackson said people are now making it sound like Raja attacked an innocent veteran with PTSD, but that isn’t true. Raja didn’t know Stu’s history; he was just following the storyline.
Jackson added that he will protect his family no matter what. He agreed Raja should face punishment, but also said Stu was lucky he wasn’t there when the beer can incident happened, especially since Raja already had a concussion. Rampage made it clear he wouldn’t care if others wrestlers had jumped him.
In the end, Jackson said the lesson is clear: keep your hands to yourself and playing stupid games will only get you stupid prizes. Wrestling may be staged, but real fighters deserve respect.
“Now the story has flipped into my son attacking an innocent military vet with PTSD, like he somehow knew everything about Stu’s situation beforehand. That’s not what happened. I’ve got other kids to protect, and I don’t take threats lightly. I’m not scared of prison or dying for my children. Call me names if you want—it won’t hurt me.
Yes, my son deserves consequences for going too far. He knows better—that’s why he didn’t even tell me about the storyline. But let’s not act like Stu is innocent here. He’s lucky I wasn’t there when he hit my son over the head with that beer can—especially when Raja was already dealing with a concussion from sparring the day before. I don’t care if a locker room full of pro wrestlers came after me—I’m a father first.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The lesson is simple: keep your hands to yourself. If you get paid to do fake fighting, don’t disrespect people who fight for real. Now I’ve said my piece—DM me if you’ve got something to say.”
It hasn’t been easy for Rampage Jackson either, as he’s been getting all kinds of racist messages and even death threats over his son Raja’s brutal attack. So, Rampage Jackson’s defense of his son Raja has made the situation even more complicated. With California authorities now investigating Raja, we’ll have to see what will become of Raja in the end.
Do you think Rampage Jackson is right that Syko Stu started the problem, or should Raja Jackson be held fully accountable for his attack? Sound off in the comments.
