MrBeast has publicly offered to assist wrestler Stuart Smith following the violent in-ring assault by Raja Jackson at the KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Smith, known by the ring name Syko Stu, suffered serious injuries after being punched over 20 times while unconscious. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, referenced the wrestler’s struggles with PTSD and his use of wrestling as an outlet, making it known that he wanted to help.
“Dang man, this hurts to see,” he said on social media. “Especially because I read he was a veteran that used wrestling as an outlet to get over PTSD… Genuinely, if anyone connected to him knows of a way I can help please reach out. If his kid is a fan or I can help with hospital bills idk but I’ll help.”
KnokX Pro Wrestling Condemns Raja Jackson’s Actions
According to medical reports, Stu suffered multiple facial fractures and lost several teeth. It’s also noted that he was briefly choking on his blood and teeth before he was stabilized.
Smith’s fellow wrestlers had tried reviving him in the ring after pulling Jackson off him, but to no avail.
KnokX Pro Wrestling has since put out a statement, condemning Jackson’s actions as a “selfish, irresponsible act of violence,” claiming that what was supposed to be a scripted spot turned into a shocking and dangerous assault, per CBS.
Raja’s father, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, has made a statement of his own, also condemning his son’s actions while revealing that he had suffered a concussion only days earlier and was not cleared for such physical activity.
No apology has come from Raja Jackson himself.
The Los Angeles Police Department is reviewing the incident and considering attempted murder and aggravated assault charges.
