"Stuart has been released from the hospital and is resting at home. His recovery will be long, but he remains in high spirits. He suffered a serious head injury and arrived at the emergency room unconscious. His injuries include trauma to his upper and lower jaws, a cut on his upper lip, and a fractured jawbone, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of several teeth," Contessa wrote.

The incident occurred on August 23rd, during an episode of 'KnokX Pro Wrestling,' when Raja Jackson unexpectedly entered the ring and attacked Syko Stu with a takedown, followed by more than 20 punches to the face, which left him unconscious. The attack only stopped with the intervention of other wrestlers present.
