Unfortunately, Boogs suffered an injury during the bout as his knee buckled while he was trying to lift both Usos. It was later announced that Boogs suffered a torn quad and the patellar tendon will require surgery.

Taking to Instagram, Boogs posted the following message:

From the highest of highs to lowest of lows. Having my beautiful wife with me to experience my first Wrestlemania. Getting the incredible opportunity to open the show! Being able to demonstrate brute strength in front of millions of viewers! Unfortunately, the doctor told me my quad was too strong for the tendon and it was flexing so hard, it ripped the tendon totally off the bone. I’m still incredibly grateful for the experience and for all the love and support. History proves I will come back bigger, better, and stronger. IT’S A MINDSET

Fightful would like to wish Boogs the best in his recovery.
