During a private event at KnokX Pro Academy, Raja Jackson slammed Smith to the ground and punched him in the face over 20 times.
Reports were initially positive, with TMZ reporting that Smith was on the mend.
Rampage also posted on social media that Smith was “awake and stable.”
However, it appears that Smith isn’t doing as well as Rampage made it seem.
His brother, Andrew Smith, shared on Facebook that Smith is “in stable, but critical care.”
“Thank you everyone for your prayers, concerns, and kind words for my brother Stu,” he wrote.
“Please continue to keep him in your prayers.”
Smith’s friend, Jonovan Smith, shared a separate update on Facebook about his condition.
“To see him like this pains my heart,” he wrote.
“I believe that Knox Pro is at fault for these events, to have allowed this to happen is beyond belief.
“Honestly I’m upset.”
On Monday, Smith’s brother delivered another update, sharing that the wrestler was conscious, but still had a “difficult recovery ahead.”
“Thank you for the outpouring of support,” he said.
“Stuart is conscious and does have some recollection of events from the day of the attack.”
Before the incident happened, Jackson and Smith got into an altercation outside of the venue.

Smith smashed a beer on Jackson’s head, thinking he was setting up a storyline for the upcoming show.
A livestream also showed the two making amends after the incident took place outside.
However, that didn’t stop Jackson from attacking Smith once they got in the ring.
KnokX Pro labeled Jackson’s actions has “reprehensible” and a “selfish, irresponsible act of violence.”
Jackson has yet to publicly comment about his attack on Smith.
The LAPD is currently investigating Jackson’s brutal outburst for any criminal wrongdoing.
