New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo posted a message on social media Tuesday, seemingly addressing his recent controversy after engaging in a shoving match against WWE stars at Madison Square Garden for “Monday Night Raw.”
“Yeah, honestly, if you don’t like the fact that I’m having a good time while going through a tough time, then go ahead, unfollow and casually move on. I’m not able to play soccer and have fun like I’ve had my whole life, so I’m doing things outside the box trying to find things that make me happy,” Skattebo wrote on X.
“Enjoy the rest of the week and don’t talk about me if you don’t have something nice to say.”

Skattebo was criticized for appearing on Monday night’s show while recovering from a season-ending ankle injury, and the Giants are trudging through a 2-9 season.
The controversial incident began when Dominik Mysterio, one of the trio’s three stars, started shouting at actor and comedian Andrew Schulz. While chatting with Schulz, Mysterio – the son of wrestling legend Rey Mysterio – mocked the New York native, saying he was watching the only champion the city had seen in years.
Mysterio then looked at Skattebo after he asked how many years it had been since a New York team won a title and replied, “Can you count, Cam? How many years? He doesn’t know. He can’t count.”

That prompted Skattebo — who suffered his injury in a Week 8 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles — to get up and get in Mysterio’s face.
Then, JD McDonagh began biting Skattebo, yelling at Giants players before turning towards the rookie.
“Are you going to play defense for the first time this season?” McDonagh shouted before looking at Skattebo. “What are you going to do?”
Skattebo pushed McDonagh to the ground, sparking a skirmish between Schulz, Giants players and the wrestlers before security broke it up.

Among Skattebo’s Giants teammates in attendance was compatriot Abdul Carter, the team’s first-round draft pick, who wore a personalized Giants WWE title belt over his left shoulder.
Skattebo finished his rookie season with 617 scrimmage yards (410 rushing, 207 receiving) and seven total touchdowns in eight games.
