Will Randy Orton get a rematch against Gunther after controversial WWE King of the Ring 2024 final ending?

Triple H says the referee’s decision is the final decision and Gunther is your new King.

Gunther’s triumph in the 2024 King of the Ring Tournament has sparked heated debate and a desire for a rematch with Randy Orton. Gunther defeated Orton in the finals of the WWE King and Queen of the Ring event held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Gunther has previously defeated Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, and “Main Event” Jey Uso. However, the encounter ended controversially since Orton’s shoulder was not fully on the ground at the pinfall.

The controversial climax was not overlooked, with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque commenting on the issue. On Twitter, Triple H accepted the questionable conclusion, saying, “I was out there. My vantage point was very difficult to see.

Coming back here and seeing it again, I saw what everybody saw. It Didn’t even seem very controversial to me, just seemed like Randy Orton’s shoulder wasn’t down. But I’ll say this, referee’s decision is final and Gunther is your new King of The Ring.”

Triple H’s admission of the controversial finish sparked debate among fans and wrestlers alike. The WWE universe has been buzzing with opinions over the decision’s fairness and the repercussions for both contestants.

Will Randy Orton get a rematch?

Despite the official result standing, Triple H expressed his belief that a rematch is warranted to settle the dispute definitively. He said, “Randy Orton deserves to have another shot at that and I think Gunther will want to have another shot at that to take the controversy out, to take the asterisk off the page where it says King of The Ring.”

This comment has not only underlined the necessity for a rematch but has also fueled speculation about a possible future meeting between the two wrestling legends. The possibility of a rematch excites fans who believe the first encounter did not produce a clear and decisive winner.

With his victory, Gunther has secured a World Heavyweight Championship fight for WWE SummerSlam on August 3. The reigning champion will be decided at WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland, when current champion Damian Priest defends his title against Drew McIntyre. Gunther’s forthcoming title chance adds another layer of interest to the WWE universe, as fans impatiently anticipate the SummerSlam clash.

The repercussions of Gunther’s disputed victory go beyond the King of the Ring crown. His road to the World Heavyweight Championship fight at SummerSlam is clear, but the shadow of his disputed victory against Orton lingers big. Whether he meets Damian Priest or Drew McIntyre, Gunther must establish himself against another top-tier opponent.
