Son of Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Raja Jackson, after his violent outburst, has raised rampant questions about facing potential jail time. The 25-year-old as—lted professional wrestler Stuart ‘Syko Stu’ Smith last month during a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Sun Valley, Los Angeles. The altercation reportedly stemmed from a prior incident where Stu had mistaken Raja for an event worker and smashed a beer can over his head. But Raja’s retaliation went far beyond the scripted drama of the ring.
During Stu’s scheduled match, Raja stormed into the ring and turned the performance into a real as**ult—slamming Stu to the canvas and landing more than 20 punches while he was unconscious. The shocking incident was streamed live on Kick, sparking outrage. Stu was hospitalized with severe injuries but has since been released and is recovering. Authorities launched an investigation soon after, leading to Jackson’s arrest.

The arrest, however, is officially listed as a felony. Without confirmation of the specific charges, it remains unclear what kind of legal consequences or potential sentence Jackson could face if convicted. Legal experts note that felony charges can vary widely in severity, ranging from probation and fines to significant prison time, depending on the case details and outcome in court.
However, this comes after Rampage Jackson himself demanded jail time for his son.
Rampage Jackson wants his son to do some jail time
Rampage Jackson condemned his son, Raja, for brutally attacking professional wrestler Stuart Smith. “I don’t talk to Raja no more,” the 47-year-old told The Ariel Helwani Show a while back. “He dishonored my name… I just can’t talk to him right now.” The former UFC champion said his son ignored his advice and crossed the line by jumping into the ring.

“Raja is not a pro wrestler; he’s a fighter. He had no business in that ring. He was wrong and went against what I told him to do.” While making clear he still loves his son, Jackson stressed accountability: “I think he should do a little time, do some community service, go to anger management class, see some therapy.”
