Over a week after Stuart Smith was beaten to a pulp by MMA legend Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s son, Raja Jackson, the independent professional wrestler has been released from the hospital.
Smith and Contessa Patterson, who appears to be SkyoStu’s wife, released a joint statement updating his condition.
When exactly Smith was released from the hospital is unclear, while the post accompanying the statement has a photo of Smith smiling.
‘Stuart has been released from the hospital and is now home resting. He sustained a serious head injury and was unconscious upon arrival at the ER. His injuries include trauma to both the upper and lower jaws, a laceration to his upper lip, and a fracture to the maxilla bone, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of several teeth,’ the statement on Instagram read.
‘He has a long road of recovery ahead, but he remains in good spirits despite everything he has been through.’
‘We are deeply grateful for all the love and support we’ve received during this time. Thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way – whether through monetary donations, food, flowers, or gifts. Your kindness means more than words can express. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.’

The victim of Jackson’s brutal attack, was previously reported to be conscious and ‘have some recollection of the events’ from that day where he was brutally beaten in an off-script attack inside a wrestling ring.
Terrifying footage emerged earlier this month from an independent event of Raja repeatedly punching Smith in the head as he lay motionless on the canvas during an unplanned assault.
Moments earlier, the 25-year-old had leapt up from his front-row seat and entered the ring. He then lifted Smith – who goes by the ring name ‘Syko Stu’ – over his head before slamming him to the floor and pummeling him with several punches.
Around half a dozen people eventually intervened before he left the arena, with Smith later taken to hospital following the vicious assault.
While fleeing the scene, Raja was captured ranting about people ‘calling me a b****’ in a video circulating online as he explained why he rendered the wrestler unconscious.
‘I’m tired of motherf***ers playing with me bro. Real sh**,’ he said to the camera while sporting blood on his white T-shirt.
‘I’m tired of everybody f***ing playing with me and sh**. Think I’m always playing and sh**, calling me b**** and sh**… I’m not no f***ing b****, bro.
‘At the end of the day, I’m going to stand up for my f***ing self because I’m tired of everybody f***ing playing with me. Real sh**!’

An incident earlier in the day spurned Raja to take matters into his own hands inside the ring
Another video also shows Jackson taking a phone call after the attack from someone named ‘Andre’, who told him that he had gone too far with his actions.
After being asked why he stormed the ring and assaulted Smith, Raja stressed to Andre that he had ‘p***ed me off’.
Andre was then heard saying that Smith had been ‘flatlined’ in the ring before the call came to an end.
Per Ringside News, the state California is preparing to take over the investigation into Jackson for his assault on Smith.
Since the incident, the WWE has disassociated from the promotion, while KnoxX Pro’s wrestling school is rapidly losing students, per Sports Illustrated.
