New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo is recovering from his season-ending ankle injury in his own way these days.
This includes battling with WWE Superstars at Madison Square Garden.
Giants fans won’t see the Arizona State product on the field again until next season, but he was spotted ringside with some of his teammates on “Monday Night Raw” at Madison Square Garden, where the trio known as Judgment Day battled with the rookie sensation.

It all started when Dominik Mysterio, one of the three stars of the trio, started chatting with 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.
While Skattebo is enjoying himself at major New York City events — including a performance at UFC 322 at MSG on Saturday night — he would have much preferred to be on the field Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. He was seen riding a scooter at MetLife Stadium before watching his team lose 27-20 to Green Bay, dropping the Giants to 2-9 on the season.
Skattebo took the city — and the NFL — by storm when he scored three touchdowns in a win over the Eagles at home on “Thursday Night Football.” His hard-nosed running style and Tasmanian devil attitude quickly made the fourth-round pick a fan favorite alongside fellow rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
The Giants haven’t had the best luck health-wise this season, due to their misfortunes. Before Skattebo’s injury in Week 8, LSU second-year wide receiver Malik Nabers tore his ACL in Week 4 – Dart’s debut against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Giants fans believed the team could still salvage the season without Nabers, as Dart and Skattebo formed a solid tandem on offense. But with Skattebo now out, only Dart – who did not play on Sunday due to a concussion – remains the team’s promising young offensive talent.
Skattebo finished his rookie season with 617 scrimmage yards (410 rushing, 207 receiving) and seven total touchdowns in eight games.
