Chris Jericho’s history of supporting other wrestlers is well-documented.

His recent act of kindness is related to Raja Jackson’s attack on Syko Stu, which has dominated the headlines over the last couple of days.

In a video that gained immediate traction on social media shows Jackson lifting and slamming Stu on the mat before launching a barrage of punches to his face.

Initial reports claim that Stu lost consciousness as soon as he hit the mat.

What was scheduled to be a planned confrontation took a dark turn after Jackson was worked up by a few attendees in the crowd. Meanwhile, a wrestler has been accused of manipulating Jackson to give Stu “a receipt” for an earlier attack.

Syko Stu, who is a U.S. Army veteran, was hospitalized after the incident and subsequently, a GoFundMe campaign was set up to support him.

Former WWE and AEW World Champion Chris Jericho reportedly contributed $2,500 towards the campaign.

The GoFundMe has received over $100,000 in donations.

Many former wrestlers have lashed out at Raja Jackson’s cowardly attack, with some even labeling it as a premeditated murder attempt.
