After the heinous attack by MMA fighter Raja Jackson on wrestler Stuart "Syko Stu" Smith on Saturday during a WWE ID affiliated independent promotion KnokX Pro, WWE has been quickly moving to distance itself from the promotion and perhaps even completely severed ties with it.
First, the WWE ID "X" account stopped following the accounts of KnokX Pro, owner Rikishi and head trainer The Black Pearl, the company also removed the promotion from their list of WWE ID affiliated schools. KnokX Pro was listed on the site as of yesterday but the only academies there now are:
- Booker T & Sharmell's Reality of Wrestling
- Seth Rollins & Marek Brave's Black & Brave Academy.
- Cody Rhodes' Nightmare Factory.
- Scott Reed & Mike Hollow's Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center
Finally in yet another site that WWE has removed KnokX Pro as an affiliate, the promotion itself has removed their WWE ID affiliation from their branding on social media. There has been no official comment from WWE on the matter.
