Syko Stu Details Year-Long Recovery From Raja Jackson Assault

At a KnokX Pro event on August 23 2025, Raja Jackson knocked independent wrestler Syko Stu unconscious during a planned spot that escalated beyond the script.

Raja slammed Stu and then delivered more than 20 unanswered legitimate strikes to his head until independent wrestler Doug Malo intervened and pulled him away.

Syko Stu has limited memory of the incident itself. He recalled Raja filming backstage, which is unusual, and remembered calling a finish that involved one wrestling punch after a beer can spot.

Stu stated he was unconscious from the initial slam and has no recollection of the following events. He woke up in the hospital on Tuesday after being admitted on Saturday and remained in and out of consciousness until then.

During his hospital stay, medical staff would not show him video of the incident or discuss it. Wrestler Rikishi visited him there as he began to recover.

Stu was discharged from the hospital on Thursday. He now participates in word exercises during rehabilitation but continues to experience short-term memory issues such as forgetting things within minutes, repeating actions, and failing to recall names and faces.
