Footage shared online shows what happened moments before the son of MMA legend Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson sent a professional wrestler to the hospital 'with serious injuries'.

Raja Jackson, 25, has received backlash on social media after footage from a Knokx Pro Wrestling event live-streamed on Kick showed him punch Syko Stu, real name Stuart Smith, in the head multiple times.

Fightful reporter Sean Ross Sapp said he heard that the pro wrestling match, which centres around predetermined outcomes, was indeed 'planned'.

"However, Raja Jackson knocked the person out - ring name Syko Stu - and followed up with a lot of heavy punches to Syko Stu, which were not planned to do that kind of damage," he said on X.

"Stu was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. We are working to find out more and have Stu in our thoughts."

Jackson, 47, said he condemns his son's actions, suggesting that it all started with a prior altercation when Smith 'hit in the side of the head'.

"Raja was told that he could get his 'payback' in the ring, I thought it was a part of the show. It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong," he explained.

Take a look at the prior exchange below:

Syko Stu thought Raja Jackson was a wrestler, and was setting up a story line. He apologised and they talked it out.

“What, you don’t know me?” the wrestler said to Jackson.

“Hell nah!” Jackson said.

The wrestler then picked up a beverage can and smashed it on Jackson’s head.

“I don’t play that s**t,” Jackson said as other wrestlers stepped between them.

“I will f**k him up. I will f**k him up, bro.”

After the aftermath was shared online, Rampage said his son 'suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact'.

"As a father, I'm deeply concerned with his health and the well being of Mr. Smith," he wrote.

"That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery.

"I apologise on his behalf and to Kick for the situation."

The former MMA star went on to say that Smith is 'awake and stable' following the incident.

Now, footage allegedly taken after the incident shows Jackson making a phone call to a man named 'Andre'.

Andre was telling Jackson that he was supposed to perform a double-leg takedown, as he responded by saying the wrestler 'p**sed him off'.

The caller then points to the fact that Jackson was knocked out in the ring, using the word 'flat-lined' as he condemned Jackson's actions.

LADbible has contacted Raja Jackson, Knokx Pro Wrestling and Kick for a comment.
