For this epic encounter to materialize, it's speculated that Orton would need to emerge victorious in the
King of the Ring Tournament
, while Rhodes would need to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship against

Renowned wrestling journalist

, speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, expressed strong belief in Orton's chances of winning the King of the Ring Tournament and subsequently facing Rhodes at SummerSlam for the Undisputed WWE title.
However, if Orton were to fall short against Gunther in the King of the Ring finals, it's speculated that Gunther would earn a shot against Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2024, setting the stage for another potential blockbuster matchup.
