#2 The Fiend returns to take out Randy Orton but not as an official Royal Rumble entrant

While all of the aforementioned spots were pretty fun, this one would be among the biggest during the entire Men's Royal Rumble Match. It is widely expected that 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt will make his return and take Randy Orton out of the Royal Rumble, but how will he do it?

The Fiend does not need to enter the match, considering his sole purpose in WWE at this very moment is to haunt and destroy Randy Orton. The Viper could be on a roll and eliminate a bunch of Superstars before the lights start to flicker. Eventually, they are all out and Orton could feel The Fiend's presence.

There are two ways to approach this. Bray Wyatt's alter-ego could attack him immediately and get him eliminated, or the distraction is enough for Orton to get eliminated before getting absolutely destroyed on the stage. On a side note, The Fiend may show up as a deformed entity since he was literally set on fire at TLC.

Either moment would work towards an eventual conclusion between Randy Orton and The Fiend, possibly in a Firefly Fun House Match. Meanwhile, for the Royal Rumble, The Viper could get eliminated by his old rival, Edge. Man, Orton has made quite a lot of enemies in WWE over the past year.
