For me this particular Royal Rumble Match here is how I would go about it:
- The Authority would make the returning Daniel Bryan as #1 entrant as a way to mess with Bryan and stick it to him. Daniel Bryan starts off the Rumble and who is entrant #2? None other than Authority member Corporate Kane. They fight it out and it eventually ends up in Bryan shockingly eliminating Kane early. One Authority member is down. Entrant #3 is none other than Tyson Kidd. He and Bryan then go at it for a bit as the countdown goes to the 4th entrant. Entrant #4 is supposed to be Curtis Axel and his music is playing but no sign of him. Axel has been laid out backstage similar to Test back at Royal Rumble 2004 where Test was attacked just as he was about to enter and Foley ended up taking his place. Same thing happens here. Axel is basically destroyed backstage. Who did it? None other than Erick Rowan. Rowan takes Axel's spot in the Rumble as #4. Bryan and Kidd then double-team Rowan or try to but Rowan easily overpowers both Bryan and Kidd.
- Rowan is standing tall as the countdown goes to #5. Entrant #5 is none other than Rowan's former brother-in-arms in the Wyatt Family none other than Luke Harper. Rowan and Harper basically go to town on one another as the crowd is really into it as Bryan and Kidd are still down. Countdown to #6 starts up but Bryan and Kidd are back up as they go to their neutral corner as they keep fighting it out themselves while Rowan and Harper are fighting it out themselves in the middle of the ring. Entrant #6 turns out to be The Miz. Who does Miz go after? None other than Daniel Bryan. Kidd then of course is being double teamed by both Rowan and Harper. Kidd ends up being the first elimination as Kidd is eliminated by Luke Harper. Rowan then all of a sudden is back on Harper as Miz and Bryan are fighting it out.
- Entrant #7 countdown starts and it is revealed to be surprise entrant Bubba Ray Dudley. Bully Ray aka Bubba Ray is going to town on everyone in the match one by one until he is the only guy left standing. Entrant #8 countdown starts and entrant #8 is revealed to be Zack Ryder. Bubba Ray Dudley quickly eliminates Zack Ryder a la Hogan eliminating Warlord or Kane eliminating Santino. Luke Harper then shockingly eliminates Erick Rowan from the match as we are left with Harper, Bubba Ray, Bryan and Miz.
- Entrant #9 countdown starts and we get WWE United States Champion the undefeated Rusev. Rusev goes to town on everyone in the match as Rusev then eliminates Harper and surprise entrant Bubba Ray one after the other. Rusev is left with Bryan and Miz as he basically beats the holy hell out of both of them. Rusev even manages to lock Bryan into the Accolade as Bryan is not tapping out but he does it until Bryan passes out. Rusev is the only one left standing as Lana is on the outside waving the Russian flag. Countdown clock starts again as it hits zero. Entrant #10 is none other than Miz's stunt double Damien Mizdow. Rusev is thinking it is gonna be easy pickings but Mizdow surprisingly is taking the fight to Rusev which is something Rusev was not expecting as Mizdow completely has the upper hand until Rusev gets the upper hand back as Miz and Bryan are back up. Miz and his stunt double Mizdow have the perfect plan as they are gonna team up to try to eliminate everyone but what happens? Miz tries to double cross Mizdow by trying to throw him over the top rope but Mizdow throws Miz over the top rope. Miz doesn't hit the floor but he is still on the apron. Rusev then throws Mizdow over the top rope but Mizdow lands on the apron. Miz then ends up hitting his own stunt partner which ends up eliminating Mizdow from the match. Bryan then charges off the ropes and hits his Running Knee on Miz who is still on the apron on the ropes eliminating Miz from the match.
- Rusev and Bryan are fighting it out until #11 comes out. #11 turns out to be Bray Wyatt. Rusev and Wyatt are double teaming Bryan until #12 comes out. #12 turns out to be Authority member Big Show. Bryan, Wyatt and Rusev are waiting for him to come in as they all gang up on The Giant but to no avail. Show basically takes it all but then hits a KO Punch on Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan is not eliminated as he falls under the rope after he is hit with it as Bryan rolls on to the outside. Show is then fighting it out with both Bray Wyatt and Rusev as he hits both men with KO Punches one after the other. Show is standing tall.
- Entrant #13 countdown starts up and the unlucky #13 turns out to be Titus O'Neil. Titus takes the fight to Big Show surprisingly until Show hits a KO Punch on Titus and then throws him right over the top rope eliminating him. Show is still standing tall as he is just waiting for the next man as entrant #14 enters the match. Entrant #14 turns out to be Adam Rose. Adam Rose gets in but he is quickly eliminated by Bray Wyatt who is now back on his feet. Bray Wyatt is on his feet as he and Show start to go at it and Show looks to hit Wyatt with a KO Punch but Bray Wyatt ducks as he hits his Cross Body Splash on Big Show taking down The World's Largest Athlete. Rusev is back on his feet too as he and Wyatt start to go at it. Entrant #15 countdown starts up as entrant #15 turns out to be surprise entrant DDP. Daniel Bryan begins to stir on the outside as he then gets back into the ring. DDP then hits everyone in sight with Diamond Cutters one after the other as he hits a huge Diamond Cutter on Authority member Big Show. Hell, even Daniel Bryan gets a Diamond Cutter.
- Entrant #16 turns out to be New Day member Kofi Kingston. Entrant #17 right after him turns out to be the other New Day member in the match that being Big E. However, Big E is eliminated by Big Show while Kofi is eliminated by Bray Wyatt. Entrant #18 ends up being The Big Dog...Roman Reigns. Roman gets in as he hits everyone in sight with Spears. He then hits Big Show not only with 2 Superman Punches but then also hits a huge Spear on the giant as he eliminates Big Show from the match. DDP ends up getting eliminated by Rusev. Entrant #19 turns out to be R-Truth but he eventually gets eliminated by Daniel Bryan the #1 entrant who is still there in the match. We are left with Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, Rusev and Roman Reigns.
- Entrant #20 turns out to be Jack Swagger. Entrant #21 turns out to be Ryback who of course was also over just like Ziggler was and just like Rowan was. Ryback and Rusev go at it of course as Swagger goes at it with Daniel Bryan as Roman Reigns fights it out with Bray Wyatt. Rusev shockingly eliminates Jack Swagger. Ryback then shockingly eliminates Rusev from the Royal Rumble Match which is a huge game changer. However, Rusev comes right back in after being eliminated by Ryback. Rusev then goes ape crap destroying Ryback and then throwing him over the top rope. We are left with Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt.
- Entrant #22 turns out to be Dean Ambrose. Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are then double teaming Bray Wyatt as Daniel Bryan goes off into the corner. Entrant #23 turns out to be a surprise entrant. It is none other than The Boogeyman. Boogeyman gets in and eventually it ends up in Boogeyman toe to toe with Bray Wyatt until Bray Wyatt throws Boogeyman over the top rope. Entrant #24 turns out to be Goldust. Entrant #25 turns out to be Stardust. We are left with Bryan, Reigns, Wyatt, Goldust and Stardust. All 5 of these men are fighting it out but then it eventually leads to Roman Reigns eliminating Stardust and Goldust at the same time simultaneously. Entrant #26 turns out to be Bad News Barrett. Barrett is taking it to everyone as he even hits Bullhammer Elbows on Bryan, Ambrose, Wyatt and Reigns until he is the only one left standing.
- Entrant #27 the lucky #27 turns out to be Cesaro. Cesaro and Barrett are going at it until Barrett is about to hit the Bullhammer on Cesaro but he turns it into the Cesaro Swing. He is swinging Barrett over and over again until he hits Bryan, Ambrose, Wyatt and Reigns all with the Cesaro Swing as he swings and spins everyone until he is the only one left standing. Entrant #28 turns out to be Sin Cara as he is eliminated by Ambrose. We are left with Cesaro, Bryan, Barrett Ambrose, Wyatt and Reigns. Daniel Bryan has been in this match the longest at this point for over 50 minutes. Second longest time is Bray Wyatt at over half an hour almost 35 minutes. Reigns has been in for over 20 minutes and Ambrose has been in there for at least 15 minutes. Barrett has been in the shortest amount of time.
- Entrant #29 turns out to be Fandango but he is eliminated by Bray Wyatt. Countdown to #30 starts up and who is none other than #30? None other than Dolph Ziggler who had an impressive 2014 dating back to Survivor Series. Ziggler also targets the man who took the WWE Intercontinental Championship from him that being Barrett. Ziggler sets his sights on Barrett before he eliminates him.
