In the middle of a World/WWE championship reign?
I know there's been times when guys have turned the same night or immediately after winning (Austin at WM17, Del Rio against Ziggler, The Rock's 1st reign) but besides Punk, I can't think of anyone else who has had a championship reign of any substance, and turned in the midddle, and then the reign continued longer.

Macho Man 1989. Very heartbreaking moment for an 8 year old fan watching him beat up the Hulkster in the first aid room.

Kurt Angle waited about a week before he turned heel as WWE Champion in 2002.

I'd wager they have some variety of turning Randy Savage in that title reign!

Brock Lesnar during his first WWE Championship reign. He smashed 'Taker's hand, but he sorta turned by virtue of challenger Big Show going through a monster phase, and Heyman doubting him.

I guess I'll be the first to say it...Randy Savage in '89.

Austin seemingly turned face in the beginning of the Invasion only to turn heel again at the Invasion PPV all while holding the WWE championship.

I think Brock Lesnar did in 2003, but I don't remember if he was champion or not.
Edit: My mistake. He wasn't.

Didn't Diesel start to turn tweener near the end of his reign before the Hart match?

Undertaker in 2002 won the title as a heel, quickly became a tweener, and was basically a face when he lost it.

I remember when Punk first turned I said to myself, "WTF Daniel Bryan just did this three months ago!"

Yep, came in the post this. He went from underdog face to douchey heel over the span of his World Heavyweight Title run.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned Savage yet, but he turned heel on Hogan.
