One I remember from recently was Brock Lesner's heel turn leading up to Summerslam 03, where we were supposed to think that he was attacked, and we thought it would be Angle to side with McMahon, and suddenly, during a steel cage match between McMahon and Lesner, ref Angle put the ankle lock on McMahon when Lesner "fainted" and McMahon went to the pin, only to have Lesner kip up while Angle had the ankle lock on Mcmahon, his back turned, and F5ed him.
It was memorable because of how they did it (making us think that Angle would turn heel then just suddenly springing Lesner turning heel), but in the weeks after, we saw Spanky and, gasp, Zach Gowen committ blade jobs to put him over (the Gowen one is also the first time the WWE censored blood with that blurred camera shot for whatever reason).
But yeah, a more recent one (I tried to pick one that wasn't brought up yet) is the Lesner turn.
