Roman Reigns appeared in the most recent taped episode of WWE SmackDown.

During the latest pre-taped episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns made another impactful appearance. The Tribal Chief was featured in various segments, engaging in interactions with General Manager Nick Aldis and ultimately attacking AJ Styles in the main event of the show.

However, during a backstage segment, the eagle-eyed fans noticed the phone used by The Bloodline’s leader. Surprisingly, Roman Reigns was seen using an iPhone 7, a model launched back in 2016. Despite being a prominent figure in the wrestling industry, Reigns opted for this older version of the phone.

It is worth noting that this is not the first instance of a WWE Superstar being spotted with a phone. Previously, Brock Lesnar was seen on television using a flip phone during an interaction with Adam Pearce. The fans have drawn comparisons between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar’s situations, questioning why both superstars opted for older phone models.

Check out some of the fan reactions below:

Additionally, keen observers noted that Paul Heyman was seen with an iPhone X or XS, adding to the curiosity surrounding why The Tribal Chief himself chose to use the older version from Apple.

This unexpected segment from Roman Reigns is surely on its way to becoming another viral meme material in the Stamford-based promotion.
