New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has addressed the backlash regarding his physical involvement during the November 17, 2025, episode of WWE Raw. While attending the event, Skattebo became involved in a skirmish during a commercial break after being confronted by members of The Judgment Day, including Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh. The segment also featured comedian Andrew Schultz and several of Skattebo’s Giants teammates who stepped in during the altercation.
The appearance drew criticism from fans because Skattebo had suffered a season-ending ankle injury on October 26, leading many to believe the physical nature of the wrestling segment was an unnecessary risk. However, during a recent interview on the Rich Eisen Show, Skattebo defended his decision to participate, citing the surgical repairs already performed on his ankle as grounds for his confidence.
“I got some plates and screws in there,” Skattebo explained to Eisen. “At that point, it’s already screwed in and plates are on, so I felt like I was okay to do whatever I wanted to. It’s not like it was going to break. I was behind the wall, having a good time with my boys, teammates were out there backing me. If something really broke down, I knew I had my boys behind me.”
Skattebo is currently in the process of rehabilitation and is expected to make a full recovery in time for the Giants’ 2026 season opener.
