Roman Reigns now eyes Randy Orton's record

Randy Orton is a 14-time WWE World Champion. He has been the company's top champion for 806 days. It remains to be seen if Roman Reigns manages to topple The Viper and break his impressive record. Judging by Roman Reigns' current run on SmackDown, it isn't a stretch to assume that he will end up breaking Randy Orton's record as well.

Reigns won the Universal title at Payback 2020, by defeating Braun Strowman and The Fiend. He went on to put down one big name after another in his quest to remain at the top.

The Head of the Table has defeated the likes of John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Brock Lesnar and Kevin Owens over the course of the past year. He now has his eyes set on Lesnar once again. The Beast Incarnate failed to defeat Reigns at Crown Jewel 2021, but has another opportunity at his title belt.

At WWE Day 1, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar will collide once again, with the Universal title on the line. Many among the WWE Universe believe that Reigns will remain champion at least until WrestleMania, where he will finally be dethroned by a credible opponent.
