In the wake of the August incident involving Raja Jackson and Syko Stu, KnokX Pro Wrestling is making changes to its procedures. The independent promotion and training school, co-owned by WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, issued a public notice announcing it is tightening its protocols regarding who is allowed access to the facility.
New Facility Rules
The notice states that unauthorized access is “strictly prohibited” and that only “current students, active staff, and officially approved affiliates” may enter the premises.
“Media personnel, former clients, past affiliates, or any individual not directly affiliated with KnokX Pro are not permitted to enter, film, or appear at our facility without prior written authorization from ownership,” the notice read. “All visits, collaborations, and media or filming requests must be submitted in advance and approved by KnokX Pro management or ownership.”
Trespassing And Live Events
The promotion warned that any unauthorized individuals “will be asked to leave immediately” and failure to comply “may be considered trespassing under California law.” For live events, the policy states, “security are authorized to refuse entry or to remove anyone.”
Fallout From August Incident
These new rules follow the August 23 event, where Jackson, an internet live streamer, legitimately attacked Syko Stu. The incident occurred after Stu had struck Jackson with a beer can backstage. A video of Jackson repeatedly punching Stu, bloodying him, went viral.
The attack caused KnokX Pro to lose its status as a WWE ID affiliate program. Stu (Stuart Smith) continues to recover from the attack but will likely not be returning to the ring. Jackson, the son of MMA legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, is facing up to seven years in jail if convicted. According to recent court records, Jackson has pleaded not guilty to assault charges and is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing in mid-November.
