Roman Reigns has already solidified his status as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time if not the greatest. His track record over the past several years has been remarkable which also earned him an unparalleled level of success. With each match, he continues to break and make new records in the world of professional wrestling.
Roman Reigns has crossed yet another milestone in WWE as he heads into Wrestlemania 40, this weekend. On April 3, 2022, at WrestleMania 38, The Head of the Table picked up a major win over Brock Lesnar and claimed the title of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion as he captured both the WWE and Universal Titles. Given the date, it’s been more than two years that The Tribal Chief achieved such a feat of becoming a dual champion.

For a long time, Roman Reigns carried both the titles to showcase his big win but then WWE debuted a single undisputed title and retired the previous two belts. Interestingly, WWE has lately been dubbing the belt as only the WWE Championship and the holder being the WWE Champion instead of mentioning him as the undisputed champion.
Roman Reigns is the 10th longest champion of all time
Roman Reigns’ extended tenure as the WWE Universal Champion has sparked mixed reactions among fans for a long time but that didn’t force the WWE to remove him from the top position and end the reign. As previously pointed out by Reddit user ItsMichaelRay, he now has the tenth-longest-reigning champion of any title WWE has ever recognized. The Fabulous Moolah’s reign as Women’s Champion remains the longest in WWE sitting at 10170 days.
It was also mentioned during this week’s episode of Raw that Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will feature in two WrestleMania main events, this weekend and he will set the record for the most WrestleMania main events: 9 to surpass Hulk Hogan’s record of 8.
