The staged segment prompted criticism over safety optics during his 4–6 month ankle rehab.

Overview

  • Skattebo, seated ringside with teammate Abdul Carter and comedian Andrew Schulz, confronted WWE’s Judgment Day after taunts during Monday Night Raw at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17.
  • The rookie shoved JD McDonagh after Dominik Mysterio’s barbs, triggering a brief ringside scuffle captured on the Netflix broadcast and WWE social channels.
  • Skattebo is out for the season after an October dislocated right ankle with a fractured fibula and ligament damage, with emergency surgery and a projected 4–6 month recovery.
  • He wore a protective boot and remained behind the barricade during the planned spot, with reporting noting pulled punches and production measures to limit actual risk.
  • WWE quickly released officially licensed Skattebo T‑shirts, as media figures and former players criticized the optics, and the running back responded on X telling detractors to unfollow.
