Some big superstar's defending his title against someone else, be it in a baseball game, wrestling, boxing, basketball, etc. He's real famous, not a single person expects him to lose against this newcomer. Newbie doesn't have a chance anyway.
...right?
Well, his supporters certainly THOUGHT the newbie didn't have a chance. And guess what? The champ's lost his title, and now his fans are heartbroken, devastated, etc.
Basically, they've become so disappointed in the champ, that they've even stopped rooting for him altogether, instead rooting for the one who defeated him. What would this trope be?
