Bryan Danielson: 'The Raja Jackson situation seems irresponsible on many levels'

The incident involving Raja Jackson on August 23rd at an independent KnokX show in California has caused a huge uproar in the wrestling industry. During a recent event, the young wrestler repeatedly struck an apparently unconscious Syko Stu in the head, an action that sparked immediate criticism and led to his arrest on felony charges.

Bryan Danielson has commented on the case in an interview with UNSCRIPTED. Although he admitted to not knowing all the details, he described the incident as "quite irresponsible on many levels." Danielson recalled that in the past he had also shared the ring with people he didn't get along with, but he emphasized that professionalism should always come before any differences. Additionally, he added that he does not consider Raja Jackson a professional, highlighting that this business demands "a certain level of professionalism" that, in his opinion, Jackson lacks.

The accused's own father, UFC veteran Rampage Jackson, criticized his son's actions, although he also suggested that authorities should investigate Stu for alleged past incidents backstage. This statement, far from calming the waters, added more controversy to the case.

Meanwhile, the wrestling community has rallied in support of Syko Stu. Names like Chris Jericho, Jack Perry, and Rusev have contributed to a fundraising effort aimed at covering medical expenses, rehabilitation, and loss of income. Content creator Mr. Beast also joined the cause with a $10,000 donation.

The latest update on this case is that Raja Jackson was arrested and is being held on a $50,000 bail, facing a serious charge of felony.
