But ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns has hit a couple of significant milestones as Universal Champion. First, he hit the 500-day mark with the title and then he surpassed Brock Lesnar’s set. He has held a World Title in WWE for the most consecutive days since 1988.
The last time someone had a World Champion reign of that long was none other than Hulk Hogan when he held the title for the first time.
