Overview
- Skattebo sat front row at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17 and, alongside comedian Andrew Schulz and Giants teammates, exchanged shoves with WWE’s Judgment Day during a planned segment.
- He is out for the season after an Oct. 26 dislocated ankle with a fractured fibula and ligament damage, and he appeared in a walking boot weeks after emergency surgery.
- Coverage described the encounter as a scripted WWE spot with security and a barricade in place, and there were no immediate reports of a setback to his recovery.
- Criticism included a rebuke from retired All-Pro safety T.J. Ward and local radio hosts, while Skattebo posted that unhappy followers should “go ahead and unfollow” and that he was finding ways to stay positive.
- Giants teammates called him a “wild” personality and weren’t surprised by the stunt, and WWE amplified the moment with highlights and quick-turn merchandise.
