Roman Reigns continues to reign as the Undisputed Universal Champion, solidifying his position as the top dog in WWE. Despite his controversial methods, he’s become a model for others to follow, showcasing his dominance over the competition.
Now, as WrestleMania 40 approaches in just 14 days, Reigns achieves yet another milestone in his impressive career.
Since claiming the Universal Championship on August 30, 2020, Reigns has held onto the title for an impressive 1,300 days and counting. This milestone marks a significant achievement for the Tribal Chief, adding to his already illustrious reign.

But for Reigns, this is just the beginning. As the Head of the Table, he undoubtedly aims to leave an indelible mark on WWE history. Surpassing Bruno Sammartino as the longest-reigning champion in WWE history may well be his next target.
However, to achieve this, he must first successfully defend his title against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
It won’t be an easy task, especially with Reigns set to compete on both nights of the event. His first challenge involves teaming up with his cousin, The Rock, to take on Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Then, on Night 2, Reigns faces Rhodes one-on-one with the title on the line. Despite the challenges ahead, Reigns has proven over the last 1,300 days that he’s capable of getting the job done, no matter the circumstances.

As WrestleMania 40 draws closer, tensions rise, and the storyline involving Reigns, The Rock, Rhodes, and Rollins continues to unfold. Tonight on SmackDown marks the next chapter in this gripping saga.
On the last episode of Monday Night RAW, Paul Heyman extended an invitation to Rhodes for a face-to-face meeting with Reigns on SmackDown.
The catch is that both parties are expected to attend alone, raising suspicions of a potential trap. Only time will reveal the outcome of this pivotal encounter, as tensions escalate on the Road to WrestleMania.
