The world of pro wrestling is so vast that there are several milestones that a wrestler can achieve. Roman Reigns made himself popular by reigning 1000+ days as WWE’s undisputed Universal Champion. However, fans who think this has solidified Reigns’ position at the top of the WWE roster may have to think twice after going through some intriguing facts.
It turns out ‘The Tribal Chief’ isn’t WWE’s most reliable talent in every aspect. Instead, this achievement is reserved for the wrestlers who have been with the brand for a much longer time.

‘The Head of the Table’ signed with WWE in 2010 and joined the main roster in 2012. He has been unstoppable for over 1000 days now with his title as the Universal Champion. While it may seem that Roman Reigns has done justice to the term ‘universal’ with how successful he has been, there is one metric that ranks him relatively low. A recent tweet sheds light on where some other wrestlers have left him behind.
Active wrestlers with the longest tenure at the WWE.
1. Randy Orton- 22 years
2. The Miz- 19 yrs
3. Dolph Ziggler- 19 yrs
4. Kofi Kingston- 17 yrs
5. Natalya- 16 yrs
6. Sheamus- 16 yrs
7. R- Truth- 15 yrs
8. Usos- 14 yrs
9. Big E- 14 yrs
10. Seth Rollins- 13 yrs
11. Tamina-13 yrs— ChanMan (@ChandranTheMan) June 29, 2023
The tweet contains a list of the names of wrestlers who have been with WWE for the longest tenures. Among them are wrestlers who have never left WWE since the day they joined, which makes them reliable assets for the company. Randy Orton, who has been with WWE for 22 years now, sits at the top of this list.
Some fans still consider Orton to be the ‘best heel of all time’, a title that definitely has something to do with how long he’s been active at WWE.
Fans accept ‘The Viper’ as the best heel over Roman Reigns
Ever since ‘The Viper’ retreated from in-ring action to go under the knife, fans have been awaiting his return to the squared circle. As advised by medical professionals, Randy Orton is giving himself the proper rest that his body needs before throwing himself back into the thick of things. Although the recovery so far has been significant according to reports, concerned fans have begun to wonder if their beloved wrestler will return to the ring.
