That’s not good. On Saturday night, Rick Boogs suffered an injury during Night 1 of WrestleMania 38. He was teaming with Shinsuke Nakamura as they challenged Jimmy and Jey Uso for the SmackDown tag team championships.
WWE.com is reporting the following:
After being carried off following his SmackDown Tag Team Title Match Saturday night, it was determined that Rick Boogs suffered a torn quadriceps to the patella tendon. Boogs suffered the injury attempting to perform yet another stunning feat of strength with both Jimmy and Jey Uso on his shoulders when his leg gave out.
According to Dave Meltzer, this is a legitimate injury, and Boogs will be out of action for the foreseeable future.
Early diagnosis on Boogs is torn quad. Hopefully it's not that bad.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide any updates as they become available to us. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action soon!
Editor’s Opinion:
Oh man, this really sucks. He had become one of my favorite superstars over the last couple of months as I think he’s incredibly entertaining. Not only that, but he continues to get better in the ring and has incredible strength. He has the potential to be a big star in WWE and I hope that he is back sooner rather than later!
