Rick Boogs finally made his in-ring debut on WWE SmackDown this week. He teamed up with King Nakamura to take on Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez.

Boogs kicked off the contest against Crews, and the two men exchanged blows before Boogs caught Crews with an abdominal stretch and played the air guitar on his leg.

The former Intercontinental Champion fought back and delivered a quality dropkick. Soon after, Nakamura and Azeez entered the ring.

The King outwrestled Azeez and hit a few good moves, including a knee off the top rope. He was setting up for the Kinshasa but the big man caught him with a side slam before tagging Crews back in.

When Boogs came into the ring, he planted Apollo with a pump-handle slam to pick up the win in his first match on SmackDown.

The match showcased Boogs' incredible strength. He could become a top star for the company in the months to come. Unfortunately, it looks like Crews will slowly slide down the SmackDown card from here.
