What I mean by this is a wrestler/or tag team that was high up, all of a sudden being shoved down quickly in the card
I go with Demolition
3 time champs, combined reigns ranks #1(if i read correctly)
At Wrestlemania 6 they got their final reign beating Andre and Haku, then at some point after they quietly turned heel and changed their music, Crush was added to team and they lost the belts to The Heart Foundation at Summerslam.They also started to wear masks in some points. They then feuded with The Legion of Doom where they continuously lost and then at Wrestlemania 7 Smash and Crush lost to Genichiro Tenryu and Koji Kitao .
They continued to wrestle through September losing most if not all the matches and just like that Demolition was gone
In a span of year they went from getting one of the biggest pops at Wrestlemania 6 to getting no reaction at Wrestlemania 7 and being jobbed out to a team that wasn't even fully employed by the WWF

Yeah, Demolition was a bad one, that's for sure.
Just for spot on the card, King Kong Bundy comes to mind. Goes from being in the main event at Wrestlemania 2 against Hulk Hogan to wrestling with midgets and against Hillbilly Jim in a popcorn match at Wrestlemania III.

Diesel
The man was a former world, intercontinental, tag champion…by the end of his run he couldn’t beat anybody and they couldn’t even afford to have Kevin Nash play the character anymore!

In my opinion, it’s gotta be Kane. The man was booked like a literal monster from the moment he debuted up to losing to Undertaker at Wrestlemania XX. It was all downhill from there. Sure he got a decent run in 2010 but at the point it felt forced. A few months later he was be doing the Santino trombone dance at Wrestlemania. The put the mask back on him and he quickly becomes a full on comedy act. His gear looks terrible as does the mask. Then Corporate Kane happens. It’s Kane, in slacks. The guy had a hell of a career, and worked with whatever he was given, but holy hell everything after 2004 is so below everything that came before that.

Id think you'd have to put Macho Man up there. IC champ, WWF Champion, main eventing your big shows, King of WWF......then became an announcer & ended by feuding with Crush

Vader
Look how dominant he was in WCW then you look at his WWF run he was being berated by HBK and he was calling his own self a fat piece of sh**

Tatanka and Glacier after their undefeated streaks ended.
Hakushi-Went from feuding with Bret Hart to jobbing to Barry Horowitz.
Giant/Big Show-Dominated WCW during most of his time there but jobbed to Stone Cold immediately upon joining the WWF, then became a comedy and/or crying midcard jobber.

Tazz. From being unstoppable in ECW, the biggest star they had in my opinion, to debuting in WWE to great fanfare and not even a year later was on commentary. What an absolute waste of a talented guy.

Basically any big guy Vince gets his hands on. They start out dominant, and then quickly become comedy acts.

Mike Awesome is another one
He was a MONSTER champion in ECW and as soon as he went to WCW he was quickly reduced to nothing and he was even less in WWF.
