5 facts about the WWE Universal Championship

#1 Brock Lesnar is the longest reigning Universal Champion

The 'beast' is the longest reigning Universal Champion

Brock Lesnar is 'the beast' who conquers anything that lies in his path. He won the Universal title at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 from Goldberg. Ever since then he has competed and defended his title against some of the greatest wrestlers in the locker room. He retained his title by defeating the likes of Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Kane in several matches under different stipulations.

His reign at present has crossed 315 days and he is yet to lose the title to anyone. This is a record in itself as the previous World Heavyweight Champion was held by Batista for 282 days in a single reign. He has surpassed that record long back and this record of him will last long as there is no one at present who carries the same vigour as Lesnar does. Thus, he is the longest 'reigning, defending, undisputed' Universal Champion in a single reign in the history of WWE.
