Indie wrestling newcomer Syko Stu has finally come out of a harrowing week when the wrestler was bedridden at the hospital for a couple of days. The wrestler was only released and is currently recuperating at home.

In a distraught Facebook entry bearing the real-life first name of Stuart Smith’s spouse, Contessa Patterson, it was obvious that Stu is currently at peace after being placed under life-threatening head injuries as a result of a violent confrontation with UFC legendary fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s son, Raja Jackson.

Vicious beating filmed on tape

Raja Jackson was live-streaming on the Kick account when he burst into the ring and blindsided Stu at a wrestling show in Los Angeles. The videos recorded Raja slamming Stu repeatedly on the ground and then hitting him before fellow wrestler Douglas Malo came and dragged him away.

When Stu was brought to the emergency room, he was unconscious and struggling to stabilize. Physicians announced that he had hurt both of his jaws, a cracked maxilla bone, a deep cut on the lip, and lost a few teeth. Peers and fans feared the worst.

The Road to Recovery

The Facebook update from Stu was the first clear information following the accident:

“Stuart has been released from the hospital and is now home resting. He sustained a serious head injury… He has a long road of recovery ahead, but he remains in good spirits despite everything he has been through.”

Contessa went on to thank fans, fellow wrestlers, and community members for their overwhelming support, from financial donations to flowers and food.

“Your kindness means more than words can express,” the message read.
