New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is always looking for contact. The only problem for Skattebo is he is currently sidelined after suffering an open tibia fracture and ruptured deltoid ligament in addition to a right ankle dislocation in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

But, again, Skattebo is always looking for contact. He found it Monday inside Madison Square Garden of all places. The rookie tailback is sitting front row at “WWE Raw,” and he got himself involved in the action during the first hour of the show.

Skattebo was approached by JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day, who began talking smack in Skattebo’s face. Skattebo couldn’t let McDonagh get that close without doing something, so he shoved McDonagh to the floor. That ignited a brawl between the rest of The Judgment Day and Skattebo, who had a tag team partner in comedian Andrew Schulz.

One thing you should know Dom…

Skattebo showed up to Raw wearing a New York Rangers Matt Rempe jersey, so you know he was ready for a fight. Skattebo appeared to be fine after the brawl, though you can bet the Giants were holding their breath.

New York is counting on Skattebo to be ready to roll in 2026 after an exciting start to his NFL career. Skattebo’s shortened rookie campaign ended with 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns in just eight games. He also hauled in 24 passes for 207 yards and two additional scores. Skattebo sent out a message to Giants fans after undergoing successful surgery.

“Thank you everyone for the support!!” Skattebo wrote on X. “Surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philly for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way … thank you to the doctors, surgeons, and staff that did their best work on me. This is just the beginning of my journey, and I can’t wait to show you guys all about it!!! GOD has a plan for me, stick the course and it will all work itself out, BRB.”
