Photo showing two AEW stars spotted in Roman Reigns' locker room on WWE SmackDown

Fans noticed an interesting detail during the final segment of the latest episode of WWE SmackDown featuring Roman Reigns. The Original Tribal Chief's lounge had a framed picture on the wall featuring AEW stars Bryan Danielson, formerly known as Daniel Bryan, and Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge.

At WrestleMania 37 three years ago, The Head of the Table defeated Edge and Daniel Bryan in a Triple Threat Match to retain his Universal Championship. He remained champion for three more years before finally losing the belt to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.

Roman scored a double pin that night as he pinned both of his opponents at the same time. Tonight, Reigns tried to call Paul Heyman but the latter's phone number was no longer in service. Fans noticed a framed picture on the wall behind The Original Tribal Chief, showing him standing tall over Bryan and Edge at WrestleMania 37. Both stars are currently signed to Tony Khan's AEW.

Roman Reigns defeated some of the biggest names in WWE during his four-year run as the top champion, including Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Rey Mysterio. However, many fans consider his WrestleMania 37 win the biggest of them all. Reigns stacking Edge and Bryan on top of each other and pinning the two men was one of the most iconic visuals in WWE history.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
