This one would have actually made more sense to happen then what actually did. The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan was the plan for the main event of WrestleMania VI and everyone already knew that Hogan would be walking into it as WWE Champion.

So what better way for Hogan's planned successor face to get to the main event then by winning the Royal Rumble and earning the WWE Championship match with Hogan?

Well WWE had different plans and it would be Hulk Hogan who would come out on top in the end.

The match did at least elevate Warrior from might be facing Hogan at WrestleMania to definitely facing him after he and Hogan had a confrontation during the Rumble match that nearly blew the roof off the arena.

Although in hindsight, Warrior not winning the Royal Rumble probably did work out for the best due to not being the company face WWE hoped he would be and his ugly exits from WWE a couple years later.
