Injured Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Defends WWE Ringside Stunt After Viral Clip

The running back dismissed safety concerns, calling the WWE bit a harmless distraction during rehab.

Overview

  • Skattebo, seated ringside at WWE Raw in Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17, exchanged shoves with Judgment Day members in a choreographed segment while wearing a walking boot, and no additional injury was reported.
  • The spot was presented as a scripted WWE moment and quickly promoted by the company with official clips, set on a show that featured John Cena's final Raw appearance at the Garden.
  • The rookie remains on injured reserve after late-October surgery for a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula, with a multi-month recovery projected toward 2026 offseason work.
  • Public reaction ranged from criticism by local radio hosts and former All-Pro T.J. Ward to lighthearted responses from teammates such as Andrew Thomas and Tyrone Tracy Jr., who called Skattebo a "wild man."
  • Skattebo pushed back on X, telling detractors to unfollow if they disliked his off-field activities during recovery, and there has been no indication of team discipline.
