Sunday marked the 504-day anniversary of Roman Reigns as WWE Universal Champion, which breaks the record of the longest-reigning WWE Universal Champion in history. Brock Lesnar set that record with 503 days.
WWE’s Twitter account confirmed the milestone with the caption: “History-making. Record-breaking.@WWERomanReigns is officially the longest-reigning #UniversalChampion at 504 days and counting.”
