Roman Reigns has been continuing with the ‘reign of terror’ over on Smackdown with the Universal Championship by his side. Since the day of winning it in August of last year, he has not been pinned or submitted let alone dropping the belt. That being said, he has recently reached a major milestone in terms of a title reign.
Roman Reigns has now completed his 300 days as the Universal Champion. He won the title at WWE Payback 2020 on August 30th, in a Triple Threat Match against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. During the 300-day title reign, he has put the belt on the line on 12 occasions (against the likes of Jey Uso, Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Cesaro, and Rey Mysterio) and came up with successful title defenses, every time.

The ongoing title reign is also the second-longest Universal Championship reign in WWE history after Brock Lesnar’s record 503-day reign (from Wrestlemania 33 in 2017 to Summerslam 2018). Overall, Roman Reigns also holds the record of holding the Universal Title for the most number of days, only second to Brock Lesnar.
Roman Reigns is a top heel on Smackdown
The Beast held the belt for 686 days across his three reigns, combined whereas The Tribal Chief has held it for 365+ days across his two reigns. This certainly shows how much faith WWE Officials have in the Samoan Superstar who runs the yard.

Roman Reigns is rumored to compete in a mega match against John Cena at Summerslam 2021 and until then he is not likely to drop the belt. Prior to that match, he will go through yet another filler defense against WWE Hall of Famer Edge at Money in the Bank 2021. This match was announced after the shocking return by the Rated R Superstar on this past episode of Smackdown.
Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman originally came out for a promo segment as the latter listed all the names that Reigns has defeated and said there’s no one left. Edge then came back and began brawling with Reigns. Edge was setting Roman up for a Con-Chair-To, but Jimmy Uso made the save. He was then put down by a spear through the ringside barricade. After this segment, the title match for MITB 2021 was made official.
