The Los Angeles police have offered new details about the investigation opened against Raja Jackson after the violent attack on Syko Stu during a KnokX Pro Wrestling show. The incident took place on Saturday night and quickly escalated into a high-profile media and police case.

According to the LA Times, a spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed that officers received a call around 9 PM (local time) alerting them to a suspected attempted murder at the gym where the event was taking place. When the police arrived at the scene, Jackson had already left, while Stu was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Officers opened a report for a serious assault crime and the case has now been handed over to specialized detectives. As of Monday morning, no arrests had been made, although the investigation is ongoing and updates are expected in the coming days.

The case's repercussions have also reached the professional realm. KnokX Pro Wrestling has officially lost its WWE ID center status. According to Bryan Alvarez, WWE revoked the affiliation after KnokX Pro removed all related branding from its social media, and the official WWE ID account stopped following both the school and Rikishi and head coach The Black Pearl.

New accusations against KnokX Pro

In a conversation on Scaled Up Podcast, a former wrestler from the school named Ian claimed that KnokX Pro had instructed its talent not to speak with authorities or lawyers if contacted, asking them to first go to the promotion itself.

During the program, alleged screenshots attributed to KnokX Pro wrestler Kevin Thomas (KT King) were shown, in which he requested: "Please refrain from commenting on social media about this tragedy. It will be used against you in potential criminal or civil cases. Stay under the radar."

In another message, Thomas advised: "If law enforcement or a suspect's lawyer contacts you in any way, immediately notify us here to receive instructions on how to respond."

The podcast also emphasized that Rikishi, the school owner and WWE Hall of Famer, was not in California when Raja Jackson's attack occurred, so he was not present at the event.
