And I don't mean just losing a title or "loser is fired match".
I think more along the lines of Broken Matt Hardy defeating Jeff Hardy transforming into "Brother Nero". That felt like one of the biggest loss possibles for Jeff.

Kane lost to Triple H and was forced to unmask, turning him heel and consequences were felt by RVD, Jim Ross, Eric Bischoff, and anyone else who got in Kane's way for months.

I don't think there are many examples. Crush losing to Yokozuna and using that as motivation for his heel turn is the closest I can't think to what you're asking about.

would The Kat having to join RTC count? Though it got abandoned and Lawler lost on behalf of her

Ryback losing to Punk really helped derail his push. Ryback seemed unstoppable up until then.

Edge making Matt Hardy his personal bitch after he returned to WWE. Hardy did himself no favors either with his “I hope you die in a car accident” promo.

Equinox losing to Chris Hero. Equinox was forced to unmask, revealing himself to be Vin Gerard, who would then go on to form the UnStable and become one of the most reviled figures in Chikara history.

Edge making Matt Hardy his personal bitch after he returned to WWE. He did end up beating Edge in a cage match, didn't he? Though Edge still won the feud, certainly. Mil Muertes beating Prince Puma did kinda plunge the world into darkness for a while and send everyone into hiding. That was pretty rough from a kayfabe standpoint.

Tommy Dreamer losing and getting caned repeatedly. though the real consequence was him becoming ECW's super-face sacred cow so... Leading into a 2 year feud with someone he "never"* pinned until they left the company. Since that's the driving force behind the feud, can we call this Example 2? (add this to...Raven causing Cactus Jack to turn on Dreamer, ditto the Bruise Brothers, having Brian Lee slam him through tables numerous times....yeah, Tommy had it pretty bad in this feud) * - Yes, Dreamer DID pin Raven at a house show in the early part of 1995, before the narrative was put in place.

Based on the original idea? Eddie slowly going crazy due to a desire to beat Rey Mysterio. This lead to him turning heel and the whole Dominic fiasco.
Also to go back to Chikara, Shane Storm struggling with a losing streak to the point where he gave Ultramantis Black the secret to the Chikara Special which eventually resulted in Quack attacking Storm.

Which resulted in the debut of the BDK and the introduction of the Eye of Tyr, which led to Delirious going mad, which led to him using it on Hallowicked, which led to the introduction of Nazmaldun...

Bret losing that cage match against Sid made the fans think he a crybaby whiner, planting the seeds for the double turn.
