New York Giants injured rookie running back Cam Skattebo had no issue getting physical off the field on Monday.
Seated ringside with fellow Giants rookie linebacker Abdul Carter at WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” at Madison Square Garden in New York, Skattebo was involved in what can best be described as an “impromptu” (read: staged) pushing match with a wrestling villainous faction known as “Judgment Day.”
It all started with wrestler Dominik Mysterio drawing heat from the MSG crowd by taunting comedian Andrew Schulz about the city’s lack of recent pro sports champions.
Mysterio then asked how many years it had been since a New York team had won a championship before turning to Skattebo, who was seated nearby. The wrestler then addressed Skattebo and said: “Can you count, Cam? How many years? He don’t know. He can’t count.”
Mysterio shoved Schulz, prompting Skattebo to rise from his seat to confront the wrestler while showing no ill effects from a gruesome ankle injury suffered in Week 8. Skattebo, who was wearing a protective boot, pushed back against Mysterio, igniting a brawl between the Giants players and the group of wrestlers.
Skattebo’s season came to an end after he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 29, three days after he sustained a severe ankle injury in the Giants’ 38-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Skattebo, 23, had 101 carries for 410 yards and five touchdowns in eight games (five starts). He also caught 24 passes for 207 yards and two TDs for the Giants, who selected Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Arizona State.
