Dutch Mantell comments on why Gunther vs Ricochet surprsided him

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently discussed the Intercontinental Championship match between the two stars on the latest episode of SmackDown. In the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell he thought Ricochet would retain after he kicked out of a near fall. He also hoped WWE would continue pushing a talented wrestler like Gunther: "It was a good match. And I thought for a minute, just for a second, that they put Ricochet over. And I thought that's a mistake that he kicked out. They fooled me. But that Gunther is on a roll. Just talked about it a few minutes ago. I hope they don't mess that up becuase they've got something with that guy. Just keep him alive and do something good with him." Gunther has been on a dominant run since debuting on the main roster. Now the Intercontinental Champion, he will likely become a mainstay in the promotion. Did you know Scott Steiner slapped a pro wrestling legend? Don't believe us? .
