New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo, a second-year player out of Arizona State, gave fans a scare on Saturday, July 19th, 2026, at WWE's Fanatics Fest. Skattebo, who had a promising rookie season cut short by a serious leg injury about nine months ago, attempted a backflip while walking out to Triple H's entrance music, "The Game."

The stunt alarmed fans and observers, as it risked aggravating the same leg injury that ended his rookie campaign early. Despite being on the mend, there are concerns that if Skattebo continues such risky behavior, he may end up back on injured reserve (IR).

At the event, fans could recreate entrances of their favorite wrestlers, and Skattebo chose to emulate Triple H. Unlike Triple H's traditional celebration involving blasting water, Skattebo made the moment his own with the backflip.

Additionally, Skattebo managed to kick a field goal with his left foot during the day, though it is unclear whether this occurred before or after the backflip attempt.

In related NFL news, Levi Wallace, 31, announced his retirement after an eight-year career that began when he signed as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama.

"Hey, quick reminder: you suffered a very serious leg injury about nine months ago. It's probably not a good idea to do backflips while walking out to Triple H's music. You should probably have known that, but consider this a reminder," noted observers regarding Skattebo's risky move.
