Raja Jackson gets independent wrestling booking after Syko Stu attack image

Raja Jackson, the son of MMA Hall of Famer Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, seems to be already moving on after his brutal assault on US Army veteran Syko Stu.

The 25-year-old is being advertised by Danger! Pro Wrestling, an independent wrestling promotion in San Diego. In their announcement post, the company referred to Raja as "infamous" and suggested the date of his appearance and future opponent are to be determined.

Raja made national news last week after his startling incident at KnokX Pro, a Los Angeles-based promotion run by WWE legend Rikishi.

Before the event, while trying to draw heat for their upcoming angle on the card, Stu hit Raja over the head with a gimmicked bottle, which the latter took offense to.

When it was time for their segment at the event, Raja planted Stu onto the mat, then began peppering him with unprotected punches to the head. Stu was motionless for much of the encounter, as Raja only stopped after wrestler Douglas Malo rushed in to stop the assault.

During a podcast appearance, Malo revealed that Stu choked on his own teeth and blood while suffering numerous broken bones in his face.

Stu has since regained consciousness and appears on the path to recovery.

With potential serious legal action for Raja on the horizon, it's unclear if Danger! Pro Wrestling actually has plans to feature the young man on an upcoming show, or if it's just a bizarre troll attempt to generate buzz.
