I don't think Bigelow was ever promised the World title.

Ted DiBiase was promised both the WWF and NWA world championships at one point.

Owen Hart was promised a WWF title run if he came back to the WWF after Montreal,

Rob Van Dam was planned to be the ECW world champion around the time Mike Awesome left for WCW.

Tom Magee was being groomed for the WWF title. Until they realised he could only work with Bret Hart.

Vader reckons he was told he was getting the WWF title twice in the summer of 1996 as well as beating Rocky Maivia for the IC title before he was arrested in Kuwait.

Vince Russo wanted to put Tank Abbott over for the WCW title when Bret Hart vacated it.

I'll add more when I remember them.
