Before Wrestlemania a few years ago where they were hyping up a 4 on 4 tag match for the women not involved in the championship match..
In the lead up on Smackdown I think, they teased the reveal of the final woman on the baby face team to be named for the match. And I think WWE told their social media team to really hype up this reveal, cause they thought this would be huge.
So came time for the reveal... out comes: EVA MARIE!
crowd goes mild, people watching at home we’re like “eh!”
And WWE’s social media got posting that it was greatest return like it was Austin’s music playing during Mankind vs The Rock... but I think they oversold it with tongue in cheek.

"I did it.... I did it for The Rock..." This is what I came into post. A great storyline wasted. I wish the reveal had been HBK as I think they intended - but of course he was in a bad place at the time.

Oh, the crowd did NOT go mild for Eva Marie. I remember this very well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2-yOWcuDu0She actually got one hell of a Roman pop, because they ran nothing but smark towns in the lead-up to Mania 32.

Billy Gunn having a surprise under a sheet for The Rock at Summerslam '99, and it winds up being some nameless woman we hadn't seen before and haven't seen since.

Christian being shoved on ECW has to be one, after all the buildup and hype for his return to be a possible major player
"It's... Christian."
And then of course there was Randy Orton beating Christian for the belt a day after he won it, that short circuited this Forum for a bit...

Rey Mysterio as #30 in the 2014 Royal Rumble. There's no way anyone besides Vince thought the crowd would accept anyone but Daniel Bryan in that spot. That wasn't a surprise. Mysterio was promoted as being in the Rumble literally in the video package they aired right before the Rumble. As for worst surprises, that time Layla was the surprise title challenger for Nikki Bella was pretty lackluster.

Vince as the higher power was such a letdown. I was there that night. You could feel the air being let out of the crowd when the did the reveal. Yes, Austin would get a great pop moments later, but the crowd collectively realized on that night that 6 months of storyline had been completely pissed away in a matter of seconds

As others have said
Jason Jordan as Angle’s son/secret Hornswaggle as secret GM Hornswaggle as Vince’s son (they could have printed money if they had done The Sandman instead)

Hornswoggle being Vince’s son was so so bad man.
Everyone in that arena was begging for Kennedy’s music to hit. It would have been a miles better story too.

Bob Holly returning to Smackdown to challenge Lesnar... A career jobber calling out the champion. Haha It was bad, but I wasn't too surprised by it, Lesnar needed a filler title defense for the Rumble and this one actually had a backstory due to the botch in their previous match. I don't think anyone thought he had a shot in hell of winning.
