Zayn's sudden heel turn took place during the Hell in a Cell pay per view.

During the Kevin Owens/Shane McMahon Hell in a Cell match, fans bore witness to a spectacular leap, an incredible landing, and an unanticipated alliance. After Shane McMahon leaped from the top of the Hell in a Cell, it was unknown how Kevin Owens, who appeared all but unresponsive, was able to get off of the table before Shane came crashing down.

It wasn't until the replay was shown that it was revealed that Sami Zayn was the one that pulled Owens away from potential disaster.

He then put Owens on top of McMahon and told the referees to make the count, making the match result official. A couple of days later, Zayn revealed he was tired of not being given opportunities and being passed over. He also shared that what he was doing was looking out for his ‘brother' Kevin Owens. To see the change in the character of someone that has been so pure a face for so long has certainly caught WWE fans by surprise.
