Based on WWE.com, Roman Reigns has held the WWE title for 502 days. For Reigns to change into the fifth man in WWE historical past to hold that exact crown for 1,000 days, he’ll want to hold on to it till December 29, 2024.
If Reigns can do it, his concurrent run with the Common Championship would lengthen to 1,581 days, placing him behind Bob Backlund and Bruno Sammartino for the third-longest males’s world title reign ever. At the moment, the Head of the Desk is 155 days from passing Sammartino’s second championship run, which lasted 1,237 days. The report, held by Sammartino, is 2,803 days.
Solely six wrestlers in WWE historical past have held a championship for 1,000 days or longer, with Sammartino being the one particular person to do it twice. Because it stands, The Tribal Chief is fifth on that record and has the sixth-longest title run of any champion ever in WWE, with the Fabulous Moolah topping all title holders at a whopping 10,170 as Ladies’s Champion.
Because the self-appointed Noble Scribe to the Tribe, I’m rooting for Reigns to smash Bruno’s all-time mark. My spouse and I’ve already reserved a corridor for Might 4, 2028, the day he’ll break stated report, the place we plan to have a good time Reigns’ history-making feat.
However possibly I’ve been setting my requirements too low.

Maybe I ought to pull for my Tribal Chief to demolish Moolah’s report, which might solely take one other 25 years. Positive, he’d be 63 years previous then. However Sting, AEW celebrity, continues to be going sturdy at 64. And with the schedule Reigns retains, the advances in anti-aging dietary supplements and drugs, it’s not unreasonable.
Then once more, I wouldn’t need my Tribal Chief to work that arduous. Breaking Bruno’s report will suffice.
