While both WWE and AEW had major wrestling shows this weekend, it is a local independent wrestling show in Los Angeles that has dominated the headlines. Raja Jackson, son of former UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, is under investigation for a ruthless attack that left a wrestler in critical condition.

Rampage Jackson apologized on social media on behalf of his son and said the incident was a miscommunication. He said his son was unexpectedly hit in the head moments before Smith's match and was told that he could get his "payback" in the ring as part of the show.

Raja Jackson sparked controversy after allegedly violently attacking a wrestler during a live-streamed event in Los Angeles. The son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson began making headlines for the controversy on August 23, 2025.
