New York Giants rookie sensation Cam Skattebo may be sidelined for the rest of the NFL season, but he hasn’t let his injury keep him out of the spotlight.
Last month, the star running back suffered a devastating ankle injury against the Philadelphia Eagles, ending his breakout campaign early.
Even so, Skattebo has been making sure fans don’t forget about him.
From livestreams to public appearances—like his recent outing at UFC 322—the rookie has found ways to stay connected with the public.
Ringside Chaos at Madison Square Garden
On Monday night, Skattebo turned heads during WWE’s Monday Night Raw at Madison Square Garden.
The event took an unexpected turn when Skattebo found himself in a ringside confrontation with members of ‘The Judgement Day’—Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh.
The scuffle started near comedian Andrew Schultz, who was sitting next to Skattebo.
Mysterio threw some barbed words at Schultz, claiming, “The only good thing coming out of New York City is standing right in front of you… How many years? Cam, can you count?”
When Schultz reached for the microphone and was shoved, Skattebo stepped up.
McDonagh faced him off, and before anyone knew it, Skattebo shoved the WWE star, sparking a full-on brawl near the ring.
Fans React to Skattebo’s Bold Move
Social media quickly erupted over Skattebo’s impromptu wrestling debut.
While some cheered the rookie for his fearless energy, many fans worried about his recovering leg.
One X user wrote, “Giants rookie RB Cam Skattebo forgot his leg is still healing while throwing hands at WWE [crying emojis].”
Another said, “As a Cam Skattebo fan, this seems to fit. As a Giants fan, WTF is he doing?!?”
Concern and amusement ran side by side, with viewers noting the risk: Skattebo did take a shove that made him rock backward, raising eyebrows about whether he might aggravate his injury.
Season Stats Before the Injury
Before his devastating Week 8 exit, Skattebo had already established himself as a fan favorite in New York.
The former Arizona State star had taken over the starting running back role, racking up 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns, alongside 207 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.
His injury—a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament in his right leg—was a heavy blow for the Giants’ offense, but the rookie’s presence at the WWE event reminded everyone that Cam Skattebo is anything but out of the public eye.
What’s Next for Skattebo?
While the Giants and their fans hope for a smooth recovery, Skattebo’s fearless personality seems undimmed.
Whether he’s back on the field or making headlines at a wrestling show, one thing is clear: this rookie knows how to stay in the spotlight.
