Tbf if Raja had attacked Stu right after getting hit with the can, there would be a completely different type of discourse around the whole thing. Youre allowed to defend yourself when someone assaults you, in the moment of the assault. Youre not allowed to stage a sneak attack at a later time for retaliation.  What Raja did was wrong and super fucked up and he belongs in prison for it. But there is some nuance to what happened beforehand, I dont understand why people give Stu a pass for the can thing. It doesnt matter if hes a wrestler and it was a misunderstanding/mistake/common back stage trope. Hitting someone in the head with a beer can without their consent is assault – period. Had Raja knocked him out in that moment Id defend it, although not if he still delivered the extra blows after the knockout. Same thing if Rampage was there and defended his son after being assaulted Id defend that too.  That all being said, what Raja decided to do instead is far worse than the initial assault with the can. Im not trying to misconstrue that. But in the initial interaction, Stu was in the wrong, and if he had gotten punched out right after the assault it would have been justified.
