#1 Wyatt enters last, gets eliminated by Reigns, McIntyre eliminates Reigns to win the match
To be fair, fans are not completely against Roman Reigns going up against The Fiend at WrestleMania 36, as it does provide the opportunity for some interesting storytelling. The real problem here is the very real possibility of another fan backlash if Reigns were to earn his title shot by outlasting the rest of the roster. What if WWE could sow seeds for the Reigns-Wyatt feud at the Rumble without letting The Big Dog win the entire thing?

Imagine this scenario - the clock counts down to zero for the final entrant, and to everyone's surprise, entering at #30 is Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House persona. We saw Wyatt wrestle in this form at TLC and it was clear that he wasn't a anywhere near the level of the seemingly unstoppable force of The Fiend. Wyatt could enter and get beaten up by other Superstars immediately.

Toward the end of the match, Wyatt gathers his inner power and eliminates a couple of Superstars leading to him, Reigns and Drew McIntyre as the final three Superstars remaining. This is when Roman eliminates him from the match, leaving Wyatt enraged. The lights go off, and Wyatt disappears from ringside. Reigns and McIntyre are left as the final two. Just when everyone is expecting the Roman to fulfill his apparent destiny, the Scottish Psychopath turns the table and shockingly eliminates him to win the Royal Rumble.
This would result in WWE booking both the World Title matches for WrestleMania with Roman Reigns challenging The Fiend for the Universal Championship and Drew McIntyre challenging Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. McIntyre gets his deserving main event push, and The Fiend gets a reason to target Roman Reigns, rather than it being the other way around.
