It has been an interesting week for WWE, as the company continues its European Tour, leading to Clash in Paris. However, it seems that things are running less smoothly in the States.

The week's wrestling news has been dominated by Raja Jackson's actions against Syko Stu, and it seems that because of this, Rikishi's Knokx Wrestling Promotion has lost a massive alliance. This means that their affiliation with WWE ID has now been scrapped, and three stars have been released from their contracts.

It was revealed earlier today that Aaron Roberts had been released from his contract due to his involvement in the controversial incident that occurred this past weekend. However, he isn't alone, as Wrestling Headlines reported that Ice Williams and Jordan Oasis have also been released from the developmental program as a direct result of the recent controversy.

Knokx Pro removed all mentions of WWE following the incident

WWE's ID program has been viewed as a huge success, so this is a significant blow for Oasis and Williams, who were seen as future stars.

Just a day after the Raja Jackson incident went viral, all mentions of World Wrestling Entertainment were removed from KnokX Pro's social media accounts, making it clear that the Stamford-based promotion didn't want to be part of the backlash.

Recent updates suggest that Syko Stu has gained consciousness since the incident, and it seems that he has some recollection of the attack. His brother shared a message on Facebook relaying thanks from Stu for all the online support and noted that a GoFundMe has been set up to help with his hospital fees.

A police investigation is also underway after the incident was filmed and went viral, and several clips from before the match make the attack appear to be premeditated.
