Even Rampage himself took to social media to reassure fans, posting: “I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler (Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable.”

Before the violent attack in the ring, the two men had clashed outside the venue. Witnesses said Stuart hit Raja with a beer, apparently thinking it was part of a storyline.
Later, the two seemed to make peace, as shown on a livestream from the event. But once inside the ring, everything escalated far beyond control.
