Random old WWF memory just came to mind: R-Truth's debut as K-Kwick.
Didn't happen on Raw or Smackdown...happened on Sunday Night Heat when they filmed a majority of the episode from WWF New York.
Road Dogg, post DX and post New Age Outlaws, finds him, they talk, and then they rap together. Next we know, they're a (short lived due to Dogg's legal issues) tag team.
Any other debuts like that you find odd?

Pretty much anyone in that weird '08-09 period where guys were just thrown out there without rhyme or reason.
"Hey, here's Ryan Braddock/Gavin Spears/Ricky Ortiz/etc!" Hell, even Scotty Goldman. And how many of these guys are still here now? Or even saw the year out?
I'm glad things seem to be changing with Triple H keeping a tighter leash on NXT and only bringing guys up to the main roster if creative has something ready for them (Xavier Woods aside).

Primo was pretty much treated like a loser by Mike Adamle from the second he showed up.

The Undertaker
An undead zombie, and tag team partner for hire, evidently.

The Undertaker An undead zombie, and tag team partner for hire, evidently. It was for legal reasons. Mark Callaway was on the run, trying to avoid suspicion about his real life. He tried various gimmicks, his last being "Mean" Mark Callous...but none of them came to be. Then Ted DiBiase and Brother Love came up to him, told him how they would be able to get the law off his back and let him be who he truly is, and the rest is history. |

I'm going to say Chris Masters.
Poorly poorly poorly timed. Never ever debut someone right before Wrestlemania of all times, let alone a guy with a generic "unstoppable" gimmick.

Not WWE, but Crowbar in WCW. His debut as the gas station attendant was just bizarre.

Drew McIntyre officially debuted as Dave Taylor's tag partner in 2007, they just showed up in a Smackdown tag team battle royal and lost to Brett and Bryan Major, who would later be Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, after that it was Heat and Velocity matches until he went to FCW and redebuted as the Chosen One in 2009.

Actually this how he debuted. October 12, 2007 – SmackDown: Drew McIntyre (debut) w/Dave Taylor defeated Brett Major w/Brian Major. October 19, 2007 – SmackDown: Drew McIntyre w/Dave Taylor defeated Brian Major w/Brett Major. November 2, 2007 – SmackDown: The Major Brothers defeated Dave Taylor and Drew McIntyre in a dark match. November 9, 2007 – SmackDown: Dave Taylor and Drew McIntyre participated in a #1 Contenders Tag Team Battle Royal. November 23, 2007 – SmackDown: The Nasty Boys defeated Dave Taylor and Drew McIntyre in a dark match. December 17, 2007 – RAW: Drew McIntyre defeated Atlas DaBone in a dark match. December 31, 2007 – RAW: Drew McIntyre defeated Charlie Haas in a match taped for Internet HEAT. Then he returned in 2009. |

I do find it odd that they recognize Alicia as the wedding planner. Like, how easy is it to get into the WWE? I'll be the driver for Cena and IC champ in a year.
