This happened at InVasion. Austin was the champ and he turned on the WWF that night to join the Alliance.

The person who said DDP did too is also correct. Page was kind of tweener status when he won the title, more of a face than a heel though. His heel turn kind of started the night he won it at Spring Stampede, as he took out Hulk Hogan from the match by using a figure four around the ring post (even though Hogan was technically a heel at this time).

DDP turned complete heel the next night when he lost the WCW Title to Sting in the first hour of Nitro, only to win it back in the third hour in a fatal fourway against Goldberg, Nash and Sting, by cheating.
