New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo is recovering from his season-ending ankle injury in his own unique way these days.
That includes fighting 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 seen ringside with some of his teammates on “Monday Night Raw” at Madison Square Garden, where the trio known as Judgment Day brawled with the rookie sensation.

It all started when Dominik Mysterio, one of the three stars of the trio, started talking to actor and comedian Andrew Schulz. While speaking with Schulz, Mysterio, son of wrestling legend Rey Mysterio, mocked the New York native, saying he was looking at the only champion the city had seen in years.
Mysterio then looked at Skattebo after asking him how many years it had been since a New York team won a title and said, “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 confront Mysterio.
JD McDonagh then began criticizing Skattebo, yelling at Giants players before turning to the rookie.
“Are you guys 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, leading to a skirmish between Schulz, the Giants players and the wrestlers before security broke them up.

Among Skattebo’s Giants teammates in attendance was rookie Abdul Carter, the team’s first-round pick, who sported a customized Giants WWE title belt on his left shoulder.
While Skattebo is having fun at major events in New York City, including a performance at UFC 322 at MSG on Saturday night, he would have 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 tough running style and Tasmanian devil demeanor quickly made the fourth-round pick a fan favorite along with fellow rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
The Giants haven’t had the best health luck this season to go along with their losing woes. Before Skattebo’s injury in Week 8, Malik Nabers, LSU’s second-year receiver, tore his ACL in Week 4, Dart’s starting debut against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Giants fans believed the team could still salvage the season without Nabers, as Dart and Skattebo formed a strong tandem on offense. But now that Skattebo is out, only Dart, who sat out Sunday due to a concussion, remains the team’s promising young offensive talent.
Skattebo finished his rookie season with 617 yards from scrimmage (410 rushing, 207 receiving) and seven total touchdowns in eight games.
