Face/Heel Turns

It wasn't really a "turn," but I still vividly remember the night when Paul Heyman was punishing the Alliance members that lost their matches the previous show. He would go through them, and when they were brought up, The Alliance would beat them down. It built up to Rhyno having his name called, and the place going nuts because they knew Rhyno would fuck some shit up. Then Heyman put a halt to things and simply suspended Rhyno before anyone could be humbled. This was done explain Rhyno's absence while he was getting his neck repaired.

So he wasn't really a face after that, in fact I think he returned to SmackDown! as a heel the following year; but the fans were so ready for it. One of my favourite face turn teases, if you will.
