Here's how I think Orton should go about winning the World Title.
Let's assume after Summerslam that Trips defeats Benoit to regain the title. The next night on RAW Benoit demands a rematch, but Bischoff refuses to give him one because he feels that Orton should be #1 contender. Orton is unsure he should take on the challenge, and Evolution convinces him to do it, so if he were to face Trips for the title he'd just throw the match. So Orton and Benoit have a match for the title shot, and Orton cleanly defeats Benoit, What's even more shocking is that Benoit and Orton shake hands at the end, foreshadowing Orton's face turn.
On the next RAW Evolution is pissed that Orton showed Benoit any respect, and Orton completes his face turn by saying to Trips that he's not going to throw the match because it's "his turn, and Trips had his glory." So babyface Orton feuds with Trips for weeks on end until they have a glorifed match on PPV where Orton picks up a clean victory over Trips, and the World Heavyweight title.
PS - I don't whether Flair should turn face along with Orton as his manager, or if he should just stay with Trips.
