At least it’s a start. Injuries are one of the few constants in all of wrestling as you never know when you might see someone get taken out of the ring. That is never something you want to see and it can be even worse when they hit out of nowhere. An injury can cut anyone’s progress short and unfortunately that had happened again. This time though, we have a bit of an update.
The opening match of Night One of WrestleMania 38 saw the Usos successfully defend the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs. During the match, Boogs suffered an injury, later revealed to be a torn quadriceps patella. According to PWInsider.com, Boogs has undergone successful surgery and will be recovering at home. The expected recovery time for his injury is 4-6 months.
Opinion: That isn’t good to hear and hopefully Boogs is back in the ring much close to the four month end than the six month version. Nakamura and Boogs were starting to get something together as a team and it is a shame to see Boogs going on the shelf for as long as he is. There is a good chance that the team gets reformed when Boogs is back and that could be a great thing to see for both of them.
What do you think of Boogs? What do you want to see him do when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
