On the most recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s SmackTalk, Mantell mentioned that he is confident that WWE will include Ricochet at The Show of Shows.
“They’re going to put him on it,” said Mantell. (58:00 onwards)

Dutch Mantell recently spoke about Ricochet's title reign in WWE
Former WWE veteran Dutch Mantell recently discussed the current Intercontinental Champion's title reign. In the same episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s SmackTalk, Mantell mentioned that WWE’s creative team doesn't have any direction for midcard champions.
“I think they confuse themselves. They have confused themselves over these titles. I think if you ask the creative who has the titles, who the champions are, they might not even know,” said Mantell. (44:45 onwards)
The former manager added that although he is happy for the WWE star, he doesn't believe his title win signifies anything for the champion's future.
“I was happy for him but I didn’t have any long-term thoughts on his success. They can screw up anything,” said Mantell. (44:45 onwards)
The fan-favorite star will defend the gold against Angel and Humberto on WrestleMania SmackDown next week. Though the Intercontinental Champion hasn't been confirmed for The Show of Shows yet, things could turn out differently in the days ahead of the event.
With WrestleMania fast approaching, if the Intercontinental Championship will be defended at the event, the match will have to be confirmed in the coming week. Fans have even suggested that a potential ladder match with the title on the line in the memory of Scott Hall would be a suitable match for The Showcase of the Immortals.
