WWE Quietly Cuts Online Ties With KnokX Pro Amid Fallout from Raja Jackson’s Real-Life Assault

WWE appears to be subtly distancing itself from KnokX Pro following the brutal real-life attack involving Raja Jackson and Syko Stu—and fans noticed a quiet but telling move.

In the wake of Raja’s shocking assault on Syko Stu during a KnokX Pro event, WWE’s official WWE ID Twitter account has unfollowed KnokX Pro, as well as its owner Rikishi and head trainer The Black Pearl. While WWE has not released a formal statement yet, this shift in their social media behavior strongly suggests that internal conversations about severing ties have already begun.

The incident has drawn nationwide attention. Raja Jackson—son of MMA legend Rampage Jackson—went off-script and launched into a disturbing assault on performer Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, landing a barrage of punches even after Stu was no longer able to defend himself. The attack was caught on video and immediately went viral.

Eyewitness Douglas Malo later revealed that Stu was left choking on his own blood and teeth, suffering multiple facial fractures and severe dental damage. Footage also emerged showing KnokX Pro figure AJ Mana instructing Raja to retaliate, telling him to: “Give him his f**king receipt.”

Rampage Jackson issued an apology for his son’s actions, admitting Raja had “no business involved in an event like this.” KnokX Pro’s public response labeled it “a selfish, irresponsible act of violence.” Raja is now under LAPD investigation, with criminal charges pending.

As for WWE, a source said the situation has been a hot topic internally:

“There’s been no official action taken by WWE that we have heard about,” the source said, “but it’s been a topic of discussion within the company at a level I’d be surprised if the company didn’t take some sort of action.”

Now that WWE has digitally severed ties with the school, all eyes are on whether they’ll make a formal break from KnokX Pro, which has long been listed as one of their affiliated training centers.
