5 WWE Hall of Famers Roman Reigns has surpassed with his combined reign of 651+ days

Shawn Michaels is dubbed possibly the greatest superstar in history, by many in the industry. He made his way to WWE back in the 80s and was a major star for the better part of the 90s. He is a three-time WWE Champion and won the World Heavyweight title on one occasion.

Michaels was world champion for 420 days, across his four reigns. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. He was also ranked No.1 in the highly controversial "Top 50 Superstars of All Time" DVD that came out in 2010.

It has been a while since Shawn Michaels retired from in-ring competition. He will forever be remembered as an all-time great, but he is nowhere close to Roman Reigns when it comes to combined days as the top champion.

#3 WWE Hall of Famer Randy Savage

Randy Savage was a popular pro-wrestling star in during the 80s. He was one of the few wrestlers who were heavily pushed while Hulk Hogan was still in the company. Savage won a tournament at WrestleMania 4 to win the promotion's top title, by defeating Ted Dibiase.

He ended his career with two world title reigns. Savage's two reigns amounted to an impressive 518 days as world champion. Later in his career, Randy Savage went to WCW and tasted world title success there as well. He won the WCW World Heavyweight title on four different occasions.

Savage tragically passed away due to a heart attack in 2011. He was honored with a Hall of Fame induction in 2015.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
