#4 Alexa Bliss couldn't magically transform into a different persona on live television
When Alexa Bliss began to showcase her dark side, it should have instantly indicated that something was about to go wrong.
On Monday Night RAW, the magical aspects of Alexa's storyline with Randy Orton are pre-taped. But in a Royal Rumble setting on live television, there is no scope to pull off a magical transformation right away.

Alexa Bliss also came out as her playful persona, which further hinted that she was about to be eliminated from the match, without the luxury of being able to transform into a stronger character.
The aforementioned plot points were intentionally inserted into the Royal Rumble to justify Alexa's elimination from the match. Not only did she have a huge target on her back, but from a technical standpoint, there was no way she could have escaped her eventual fate in a live setting.
One may even say that Alexa Bliss was doomed right from the start when she decided to come out as her playful character instead of the more dangerous, goth persona. It's the same argument why The Fiend has better chances of surviving in a Royal Rumble match rather than Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House character.
