WWE ID affiliation pulled from Knokx Pro after Raja Jackson incident
Knokx Pro is no longer a WWE ID school and promotion.
Our own Bryan Alvarez is reporting that he’s been told Knokx Pro has had its affiliation with the WWE ID program pulled following the incident on Saturday, where Raja Jackson entered the ring and attacked wrestler Syko Stu. He knocked Stu unconscious with a slam and then delivered multiple punches to the face while Stu was unable to defend himself.
“I am told Knokx Pro has had their WWE ID affiliation pulled” Alvarez wrote to his subscribers on X.
PWInsider was the first to report on Monday that Knokx Pro had removed WWE ID branding from its social media.
Stu was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. His brother, Andrew Smith, posted to Facebook on Sunday to say he is stable but in critical care. Smith posted again on Monday afternoon to say that Stu is conscious and has some recollection of what happened.
“Good Morning.
Thank you for the outpouring of support. Stuart is conscious and does have some recollection of events from the day of the attack.
Thank you everyone for reaching out, it’s been difficult to get back to everyone individually. We will be setting up something for anyone wishing to donate. I will update with a link when possible.
He’s currently resting and says, ‘Thank you for the love and support’.”
According to TMZ, the incident is being investigated by the LAPD.
The Los Angeles-based Knokx Pro was founded in 2009 by WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi and Reno Anoa’i (Black Pearl).
