New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo sent a social media post on Tuesday apparently addressing his latest controversy after engaging in a shoving match against WWE stars at Madison Square Garden for “Monday Night Raw.”
“Yeah, honestly, if you don’t like me having a good time while I’m dealing with a rough time, then just go ahead and stop following me and move on. I’m not capable of playing football and having fun, I’ve had it my whole life, so I’m doing things outside the box and trying to find things that can keep me happy,” Skattebo wrote on X.
“Enjoy the rest of you all, and just don’t talk about me if you don’t have something nice to say.”

Skattebo was criticized for taking part in Monday night’s performance as he rehabs from a season-ending ankle injury and the Giants trudge through a 2-9 season.
The controversial incident began when Dominik Mysterio, one of the trio’s three stars, began arguing with actor and comedian Andrew Schulz. While speaking with Schulz, Mysterio — son of wrestling legend Rey Mysterio — mocked the New York native, saying he was staring at the only champion the city had seen in years.
Mysterio then looked at Skattebo after asking 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 get in Mysterio’s face.
Then JD McDonagh started jawing at Skattebo and yelled at the Giants players before turning to the rookie.
“You guys want to play defense for the first time this season?” McDonagh shouted before looking at Skattebo. “What do you want to do?”
Skattebo pushed McDonagh to the ground, sparking a scuffle between Schulz, Giants players and the wrestlers before security broke it up.

Among Skattebo’s Giants teammates in attendance was fellow rookie Abdul Carter, the team’s first-round pick, who wore a custom Giants WWE title belt on his left shoulder.
Skattebo finished his rookie season with 617 scrimmage yards (410 rushing, 207 receiving) and seven total touchdowns across eight games.
