#3. Getting eliminated still protects him

The last two times Brock Lesnar was in the Royal Rumble match, he was eliminated in an interesting manner. 2016 saw The Wyatt Family ambush The Beast Incarnate and eliminate him, while the following year saw him eliminated within seconds of Goldberg entering the Royal Rumble.
The latter was an intense moment and a great way to set up the eventual WrestleMania 33 blow-off between the two (which turned out to be a fantastic contest in its own right). The good part about Lesnar being in the Royal Rumble match is that he doesn't have to be protected.
