Cam Skattebo’s future may eventually extend far beyond the NFL field.
The New York Giants running back recently revealed that he could see himself stepping into a WWE ring once his football career is over.
Speaking with TMZ Sports at the Sports Illustrated Invitational in San Francisco, Skattebo didn’t shy away from the idea of professional wrestling as a post-NFL path.
Asked directly whether WWE could be in his future, the 24-year-old was candid. “There’s a chance,” he said. “I feel like I’m a pretty good actor, so there’s a chance there.”
He added that WWE is “definitely an option” when he eventually hangs up his cleats.
Skattebo explained that the idea isn’t coming out of nowhere. He grew up watching wrestling and says his earliest “training” came at home.
“I had an older brother that was bigger than me, so his reach was always longer,” he joked. “I never was able to punch him. It was just wrestling the whole time.”
That background, combined with his comfort performing for an audience, has made the transition feel realistic to him.
While wrestling is one possibility, Skattebo made it clear he’s keeping his options open after the NFL. He also pointed to streaming as another lane, noting that he’s already built a sizable audience on Twitch, where he has more than 148,000 followers.
For now, though, his focus remains on football and recovery, as he works his way back from a serious ankle injury suffered during his rookie season.
That injury didn’t stop Skattebo from becoming part of one of WWE’s most talked-about moments of 2025. Last November, he appeared on Monday Night Raw at Madison Square Garden during John Cena’s final Raw appearance.
What began as a routine ringside segment quickly turned chaotic when members of The Judgment Day faction confronted comedian Andrew Schulz, who was seated alongside several Giants players.
After Dominik Mysterio verbally targeted the New York contingent and shoved Schulz, Skattebo stood up and got involved. He went face-to-face with Dominik and ended up shoving JD McDonagh, sparking a brief scuffle that spilled over the barricade and drew in multiple Giants teammates.
The moment aired live and spread quickly online, with fans reacting to the sight of an injured NFL rookie mixing it up with WWE stars.
Skattebo later addressed criticism about his involvement, brushing off concerns about his recovery. “If you don’t like that I’m having a good time while dealing with a tough time,” he said, “then just go ahead and unfollow and casually move on.”
