Now, this idea might sound as ridiculous as the actual finish, but I feel one way to soften the blow could have been to announce a few 'tweaks' to the rules of a HIAC match prior to the clash between Rollins and Wyatt.
Fearing how violent The Fiend might get, WWE could have put out a statement or have the announcers state that no foreign objects have been allowed to be used inside the cage. While this announcement may have led to some fans anticipate the possibility of the ending, it would have still made more sense if it was Bray Wyatt who got carried away and ended up getting disqualified for using a foreign object.

While WWE is calling it a 'match stoppage' and not a DQ, having the match be stopped because of The Fiend would have been a better idea in order to protect the persona of the former WWE Champion.
