Then, amid the chaos, Heyman made frantic calls to Johnson and Reigns before fleeing the ring with an unclear communication. Although the situation was pretty intense people noticed one thing funny when Heyman made those phone calls. Fightful Wrestling had also tweeted about a Brahma Bull reference.  

The caption reads, “Paul Heyman has The Rock’s logo as a sticker on his phone.” Fans loved the attention to detail that Heyman had put into his work. During calling The Rock, he used a different mobile phone from the one he used to call Reigns. It was evident from the back of his phone that he had added Dwayne Johnson’s Brahma Bull logo. 

Many fans took to social media to laugh but made clear that it was a comedy gold. However, after the segment, Cody Rhodes did great mic work and said daring lines to Heyman before he ran.
