Rampage Jackson’s Old Bail Money Comment Resurfaces Amid Brutal Attack Fallout Involving Son Raja

The fallout from Raja Jackson’s real-life assault on Syko Stu has taken a troubling turn with newly resurfaced footage of his father, Rampage Jackson, joking about saving bail money for his son.

Weeks before the violent incident at a KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy event in California, Rampage made a startling comment during a podcast appearance—one that now feels far too close to reality. Speaking about his children’s futures, the MMA legend casually admitted:

“Raja and his oldest son. Whole life I knew them two wasn’t going to college. And my two Japanese—I mean Japanese—kids, I knew they was going to college. So I saved up college tuition for the two Japanese kids and bail money for Raja and his brother. So don’t f**k with him if he go to jail. I’m just going to bail him out.”

That remark now reads like foreshadowing. On August 16, Raja Jackson stormed the ring at a KnokX Pro event and launched into a legitimate assault on Syko Stu—real name Stuart Smith—leaving him severely injured. Smith suffered broken bones in his face and lost numerous teeth. Fellow wrestler Doug Malo, who intervened to stop the beating, told USA Today: “He was choking on his own blood and teeth.”

The attack followed a miscommunication involving a beer can spot during the show. Backstage footage shows KnokX Pro figure AJ Mana instructing Raja to retaliate, telling him to “give him his f**king receipt.”

The fallout has been massive. KnokX Pro issued a public apology, calling the assault “a selfish, irresponsible act of violence.” Rampage Jackson also responded after the attack, acknowledging his son “had no business involved in an event like this.” LAPD is currently investigating the incident.

As Syko Stu continues recovering from his injuries, questions are growing louder about who’s responsible for what went down—and whether this was preventable. Rampage’s resurfaced bail money comment isn’t helping that narrative.
