AJ Mana says his relationship with KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy is beyond repair—and it started unraveling the moment he tried to visit Syko Stu in the hospital after the now-infamous assault incident.
On the F Y’all Podcast, Mana claimed he made an effort to check on Stu after Raja Jackson’s brutal in-ring attack but was essentially pushed out by others affiliated with KnokX Pro. According to him, the environment had already turned against him, and some backstage were trying to make him the sole fall guy.
Mana gave a detailed account of what happened when he arrived at the hospital and encountered other Knox Pro wrestlers who were already pointing fingers.
“I think some of them was there at the hospital when I went, and the only reason I didn’t stay is because some of the other guys that were from Knox Pro were already placing the blame on me. And it was a very uncomfortable situation… So, well, I said I wasn’t gonna mention names — I’m sorry, brother — one of the boys was like, ‘I think you should just go home.’ And that’s when I knew that they was trying to pass the buck on me.”
Mana mentioned that he was only seen for eight minutes on the livestream before the attack went down, but says others began painting him as the mastermind. His attempted hospital visit, he says, confirmed that a coordinated effort was underway to isolate him from the situation—and ultimately, from the promotion itself.
Calling Syko Stu his “brother,” AJ made it clear he felt heartbroken but betrayed. The decision to leave the hospital wasn’t out of guilt—it was because he felt like a scapegoat walking into a trap. With tensions still running high, Mana’s latest revelations suggest deeper fractures within KnokX Pro—and that this saga may be far from over.
