WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes came out victorious from his I Quit match against AJ Styles and thus extended his title reign. But he didn’t get much time to celebrate his victory, as Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline attacked The American Nightmare on the ramp when the fan-favorite star was heading backstage after his win over Styles.
The heel faction started assaulting Cody, but it didn’t take long for Rhodes to get some backup, as Kevin Owens and Randy Orton came out to even the odds. They cleaned the house and saved the second-generation superstar. But, what Orton did afterwards has left fans suspicious of his intention, despite saving the fan-favorite star from Solo and his cousins.
After helping Cody Rhodes following the attack by Sikoa and his teammates, The Viper was caught staring at Rhodes’ title. In fact, he did it for a while after getting him out of the attack by The Bloodline, and it has led to the speculation that might have his eyes on the prestigious title, as it could lead the WWE Universe into potential feud between these stars.

And that’s why a lot of fans have been claiming that WWE now has its potential SummerSlam main event if they decide to go ahead with the plan of having a feud between The American Nightmare and The Viper at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Fans look excited about the possibility of a match between Rhodes and Orton, how the company takes them to this encounter is going to be interesting. Amid all the speculations around this situation, the one scenario that is being discussed heavily is that WWE could be planting the seeds for this iconic feud at Money In the Bank PLE in Canada.
The event is scheduled to be held on July 6, 2024, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, and it could be the perfect place to finally give fans what they’ve been wishing for. The Viper and The American Nightmare share a lot of history, and that’s why this rivalry could be one of the most entertaining ones in the recent history of the organization.

Doing this on a grand stage like the event in Canada could help to make the feud an instant hit, and that’s why it remains to be seen if the Triple H-led promotion chooses this path or not.
