Roman Reigns Set to Hit Historic Milestone Leaving Behind WWE Legends Such as The Rock, The Undertaker and Randy Orton

Roman Reigns has become a highly popular and widely recognized wrestler in the current era. Following his comeback in 2020 and heel turn, Reigns has impressed audiences with his character portrayal and improvement in his in-ring performances. He has undergone major improvements and uplifted the entire level of his game. The Tribal Chief is currently one of the biggest names, and there is a solid reason behind it as well. Ever since his return during the pandemic era, Reigns has maintained an undefeated status and is going strong for nearly three years.

However, he is also nearing a major achievement on May 27th, 2023. As the date nears, Reigns might see himself become the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion for a record number of 1000 days. He has already surpassed several major WWE legends, and on being the champion for the 1000th day, Reigns would set a new milestone.

Roman Reigns’ title reign is going to touch the magical number

The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is arguably on the hottest run of his career. With just a few days away from touching the magical number of 1000 days as world champion, Reigns has finally achieved his status as the face of WWE in the modern era.

A few years ago, Reigns was struggling to find his place. After The Shield disbanded, each member went on their own way. While Rollins turned heel, Ambrose aka Jon Moxley became a face and instantly hit with the fans. However, Reigns was finding it hard to connect with the fans as a babyface.

For the next several years, WWE tried to put Reigns over as one of the faces of the company. However, in 2020, they finally did what they should have done long ago, and turned Reigns heel. Roman Reigns’ heel turn worked wonders for him and the company.

During his reign, Reigns put all of his opponents down for the three count, and continued his title reign to 1000 days.

Throughout his long reign of nearly 1000 days, Reigns has faced challenges from different names such as Goldberg, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and many more. However, every single time, Reigns has retained his title.

With him achieving the feat of 1000 days as world champion Reigns will surpass the combined title reigns of several major WWE legends such as Randy Orton, John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, The Undertaker, and many more.

Roman Reigns’ cousin, Dwayne Johnson was heavily rumored to be in a match against Reigns at WrestleMania 39. However, the match never took place. Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock was one of the biggest names in WWE during the Attitude Era. However, while he won the WWE championship a total of eight times, he never held the title for long. The Rock only has a combined reign of 378 days.

Brock Lesnar has a combined reign of 823 days, and Randy Orton follows it 680 days as a 10-time WWE Champion. While all of these are impressive numbers, these are combined title reigns. However, a much-expected name on the list, The Undertaker is miles behind with just 445 days.

Whereas, Roman Reigns has held the WWE Universal Championship alone for 999 days, and will touch 1000 on 27th May 2023. He won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 and has held the title for 418 days.
