Roman Reigns to celebrate 1,000 days as champion next week
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is celebrating a major milestone of 1,000 days as champion today.
The Tribal Chief captured the WWE Universal Title on August 30, 2020 at WWE Payback, by winning a No Holds Barred Triple Threat over Braun Strowman and then-champion “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. Reigns then unified the Universal Title with the WWE Title at WrestleMania 38 on April 3, 2022 by defeating Brock Lesnar in a Winner Takes All bout.
Next Friday’s SmackDown from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA will see The Bloodline host a special celebration to mark Reigns’ 1000 days as champion.
Reigns will look to add more gold to Paul Heyman’s shoulders later today at WWE Night of Champions as he and Solo Sikoa challenge Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

I think Hogan defended his title more in WCW than Roman has. The E continues to force things and its way it doesnt go over.
A 1000+ days reign is worth nothing if the champion barely defends the title.
The numbers of title defenses say much more.
I mean… Wrestling might be scripted. But… If you are champion for let’s say 1000 days, but you just have 10 title defenses, but somebody with a 500 day reign has 20 title defenses, who do you think looks more than “a real stud”?
