Plus, Ricochet will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Match. On the March 25 episode, Angel defeated Ricochet in a Championship Contenders Match, and when Ricochet challenged Humberto to a match, Angel helped his partner win via countout. As a result, Ricochet will defend the title against both men next Friday.
