Roman Reigns is undisputed WWE Universal Champion but for how long?

Roman Reigns has defeated notable opponents during his career in order to establish his position as the uncontested WWE Universal Champion. Looking ahead, it appears that he will soon engage in conflict with even more well-known celebs.

Roman Reigns has successfully defended the Universal Championship for a remarkable 416 days since his victory over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 on April 3, 2022. He has now held the title for an incredible 996 days, counting from his first triumph at Payback 2020.

Recent reports indicate that WWE is considering revising its historical records, potentially recognizing extended title reigns and introducing new names. Furthermore, it has been suggested that Roman Reigns is expected to enter WrestleMania 40 and 41 as the world champion, provided he avoids significant injuries or transitions to Hollywood during that period.

Based on these reports, speculation suggests that Roman Reigns could potentially retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship until SummerSlam 2024. Should this occur, he would surpass Hulk Hogan's record-setting title reign of 1,474 days from 1984 to 1988, cementing his place in WWE history. However, it is important to note that these projections are speculative and subject to change, as WWE's plans evolve over time.

Notably, Roman Reigns is set to achieve a momentous milestone as WWE Universal Champion on May 27, 2023, reaching an extraordinary 1,000 days with the title. Coinciding with the Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia, Reigns will compete alongside Solo Sikoa against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the Undisputed Tag Team Championship. This matchup promises to add another captivating chapter to Reigns' already remarkable championship reign.

Headlining WrestleMania 40 as the champion would be a significant achievement for Roman Reigns, further solidifying his legacy in the WWE.
