Skattebo Responds to Criticism for WWE Appearance: “I’m Having Fun”

Cam Skattebo, the running back for the New York Giants, has decided to live his life regardless of criticism. Recently, the young player has been in the spotlight after his participation in a WWE sketch at Madison Square Garden. The controversy arose due to his participation in a staged fight alongside his teammates, despite being in the process of recovering from a serious ankle injury. Skattebo, although he no longer needs a scooter, still uses a boot on his injured right ankle. His recent activity has shown that he has no plans to stay inactive.

“Hey, honestly, if you don’t like that I’m having fun while going through a difficult time, just unfollow me and move on. I can’t play football and have fun like I have my whole life, so I’m doing things outside the ordinary trying to find things that make me happy. Enjoy the rest of your week and just don’t talk about me if you have nothing good to say”

Skattebo, along with fellow rookie Abdul Carter and other Giants teammates, got involved in the altercation with Judgment Day (Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and Dominik Mysterio) at the event at Madison Square Garden, on a night when the legend John Cena made his last appearance on “Raw.” Comedian Andrew Schulz was also part of the staged fight. In a quintessential New York spectacle, Skattebo sat in the front row wearing a New York Rangers t-shirt. Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris sported a New York Yankees jersey. Carter appeared to have a Giants belt over his shoulder as he threw punches.

Just weeks after giving up a scooter because of his foot in a cast, Skattebo was in the middle of the pushing and shoving on Monday night. After facing McDonagh, Skattebo started the fight with a two-handed shove against the WWE star. Fortunately, security intervened quite quickly. The appearance on “Raw” ended a busy few days for Skattebo, who was also at UFC 322 on the weekend, which took place at Madison Square Garden. His teammates, without a doubt, noticed, especially his participation in the WWE event, and supported him.

“I wasn’t there last night. But you can be sure I was fighting. I was fighting at home, telling him to get down and sit down,” said fellow running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. “But Cam is a wild man. Cam is a wild man. So, I mean, everyone knows that. So, he’s going to go out and do what he does.”
