Ricochet won't be on WWE SmackDown.
The reigning Intercontinental Champion didn't have a match at WrestleMania, but he was part of the SmackDown before WrestleMania, successfully defending his title in a triple threat match against Angel and Humberto.
Taking to social media, Ricochet thanked WWE for giving him time with his son following his victory on SmackDown and saying that he won't be on the April 8 episode of WWE SmackDown, but said he will return next Friday.
A champion not only defends his title in the ring, he defends & protects his family.

Thank you @WWE for giving this champion some time to spend with my son this weekend. After whooping Los Lotharios on Wrestlemania Smackdown, some R&R with MY champ is exactly what I need.
Your Intercontinental Champ won’t be at Smackdown today, but I will be back next week, better than ever! ---- https://t.co/xdUDThhp9a
