Watching Rumble 94 got me thinking, who else besides Owen has started out as one thing, face, turned heel and then returned to wrestle as their new alignment during the same show?
Of course, a guy could wrestle as a heel, turn face and then wrestle as a face. Who has wrestled as both in the confines of one show?

I suppose there might be some instances of taping blocks where someone might turn on an early episode the block and then return later that night as their new alignment. Probably happened in the mid-90s when the WWF and WCW were taping their shows like that, and maybe even on NXT.
Otherwise, that's so situational that Owen might be in a one of a kind scenario.

It also might happen with guys pulling double duty under another gimmick or something. |

Maybe not working a full match, but Wrestlemania 15 had its weird double-double turn mess with Triple H, Kane, and Chyna that played out across the Triple H/Kane match and then during X-Pac/Shane.

There's a WCW match where babyface Brad Armstrong and heel Badstreet both get involved.
The weird lucha show we mentioned in the Tonya Harding thread had Billy Jack Haynes working as a face but opening the show in his masked Black Blood gimmick (complete with ladies in the audience screaming "We love you, Billy!" to the evil French executioner).

Surely Lex Luger, Kane or Big Show must have done this at some point.

Chyna was a tweener in late 1999. She was a face in the feud with Jeff Jarrett, but was a heel when coming out with Triple H. She was cheered when she came out to face Jarrett at No Mercy, but was in heel mode when helping Triple H escape from Steve Austin.

Well, the one wrestling show I attended had Jonny Storm working as a face in a four-way earlier in the card and then as a complete heel against Christopher Daniels later. Does that count, or is it just for tapings/PPV style things?

I have a couple of semi-examples, but they don't really work.
Owens wrestled as a face at NXT TakeOver, then turned heel later that night, but that's just the turn really he didn't wrestle.
Big Show debuting back in the Rumble in 2001, he is getting huge pops from the crowd, seems to be a babyface, then immediately turns heel on the Rock a second later.
Both of these are just turns.
I have no idea of any other examples of what you're referring to.

As far as I read... 1. Chyna turned on DX in the build up to Mania and aligned herself with Kane and the Corporation. 2. Kane, however is sort of a face because the Corporation is trying to screw him over too. 3. HHH is a face because he's in DX. 4. Kane wins by DQ when Chyna turns on him, turning face and rejoining DX. 5. Shane O'Mac is a Heel defending the European Title against Face X-Pac. 6. Triple H and Chyna turn on X-Pac and cost him the belt, joining the Corporation. 7. Kane makes the save and aligns with X-Pac shortly after. |

I actually really loved that swerve, best thing about the whole show. |

Did Rock turn face at the beginning of Survivor Series 1998, or am I misremembering?

He never had a big turn, he was just cheered a lot and gradually became a tweener and Vince started screwing with him in the weeks leading up to it.

Actually, I would argue that Triple H turned Heel when Chyna turned on Kane, as she never really rejoined DX. We just didn't know Trips turned heel until a bit later, when he dropped X-Pac. |

Rock was a tweener going into Survivor Series, he didn’t do the full blown heel turn until the end of the night where it was revealed he was aligned with the McMahons the whole time.

I'm willing to bet there's other examples in those 80s/90s marathon WWF tapings. |

That is true, they did the promo with X-Pac and the Outlaws, so I count it. |
