Of six previous expansions, we knew from the get go about two (Cata, MoP), one we knew about the "real" final boss before a filler raid was added to tie into the next expansion (WotLK), and one they told us about before changing course due to backlash (WoD). Of the two remaining expansions, Burning Crusade with Kil'jaeden was the only lore-established surprise since Argus (the titan) was first introduced in his patch. Twists are something WoW has never really done.
