Roman Reigns, a name familiar to every WWE fan, has established himself as the apex of the company's superstar roster. In his reign as the WWE Universal Champion, he's taken all comers. He's beaten the likes of Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, and most recently, Cody Rhodes. Now, he's established himself as a historically significant figure as well.
As of now, he's held the Universal Championship for a staggering 1,028 days, surpassing Pedro Morales' reign of 1,027 days and becoming the fourth-longest world champion in WWE history.
With this achievement, Reigns has now only three icons standing before him: Hulk Hogan (1,474 days), Bob Backlund (2,135 days), and Bruno Sammartino (2,803 days).
This feat speaks volumes about Reigns' legacy in WWE. His championship reign began in Payback 2020, following a win in a triple-threat match against The Fiend and Braun Strowman. He's since held the title with an iron grip, defeating a smorgasbord of industry titans en route to being crowned as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion by defending his title successfully nearly 30 times.
