dethrone
This term carries a strong sense of dramatic reversal and the loss of prestige. While its literal application involves the removal of a sovereign from a physical throne, it is frequently used in sports, business, and arts to describe the fall of a dominant figure. It implies a sudden shift in hierarchy where a long-standing authority is replaced by a new power.
In competitive contexts, the word suggests a challenging struggle or a surprising upset. It is more evocative than simply saying someone was defeated, as it emphasizes the prestige of the position being vacated and the symbolic nature of the victory.
