As Roman Reigns continues to dominate as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, he has reached yet another huge milestone.

Ever since Roman Reigns captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time at Survivor Series in 2015, he has been a permanent feature of the company’s main event scene.

Over the past two years, however, The Tribal Chief has taken things to a whole new level. In August 2020, he defeated Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman to capture the Universal Championship for the second time and has now held onto the title for over 800 days.

At WrestleMania 38, he added to his accolades by defeating Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship for the fourth time and has now held that title for over 250 days.

Now, the WWE on BT Sport Twitter account has revealed that Roman Reigns has passed a new milestone by surpassing 1266 days combined as the top champion in WWE. This puts him in fourth place for the longest combined reign in the history of the company, behind only Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, and Bruno Sammartino.

The next challenger for Roman Reigns’ titles is rumoured to be Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble. He is also slated to face current Bloodline member Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber in February.
