To say that Rick Boogs isn't shy of sharing his influences would be the understatement of the millennium. Rock and metal play a huge role in defining who he is, onscreen and off, with the guitar-slinging beefcake emanating strong rockstar vibes whether he's shredding for Shinsuke Nakamura's ring entrance or dropping some punk with a single-arm press slam.

At the Rumble, Boogs went full Freddie Mercury. Having cut his hair and perfected his moustache, Nakamura's right-hand man looked like the iconic Queen frontman if Mercury had existed solely on a diet of lean proteins and creatine powder, with the bright red singlet the puzzle's final piece.
