At this point just give Brock the belt. At least him disappearing with it would be better than Roman making everyone look like a total moron week after week after week.

State of how trash tier this is when the idea of a Brock title reign has me like "oh man that would be better" Even if he does lose it at this point the dude doesn't sell shit anymore character wise so it won't even be satisfying when it's over blegh

We've got at least a few more months of this yet, because I can see them dragging it out to Wrestlemania for his rumored match against Rock. Heck, if the plan is for Rock to put him over, he might even hold onto it past Mania.

He's going to beat Lesnar's record, can he go after Bob Backlund next at 648 days? I think it's attainable.

Why are we counting Backland twice on that list and splitting his reign? This to do with the Inoki win or the title being vacated after the Valentine match?

Didn’t know people weren’t a fan of this run. Why is it bad? Because he’s beating people? Isn’t that kinda how champions stay champions. Roman isn’t squashing anyone. They’re great matches where everyone comes out better. This is a very memorable run.

They’re great matches where everyone comes out better. This is a very memorable run. Heels are supposed to get comeuppance once in a while. When you end damn near every single show standing tall for over a year, it gets old and one-sided. I can think of two, maybe three, times in that span of time where he DIDN'T end a show that way. I'm not even advocating for 50/50 booking, I'm just saying you need to make the viewer believe that the babyface is a threat to the heel's title run. Otherwise, what reason does the audience have to get behind them?

You think they'd change Roman's booking of that happens? That's a good point. If Brock's away after Crown Jewel until the Rumble (or even later, who knows, it's f***ing Lesnar), who do you think fills the void of main character of the show? Of course, it's still Roman, except his matches are now non-title and completely meaningless.

They’re great matches where everyone comes out better. This is a very memorable run. The Usos are firmly established as Roman's lackies, Braun got released, Bray got released, Owens is in the midcard, Bryan went to AEW, Cesaro got rocketed back down to midcard status with a quickness, Edge is in parity booking oblivion with Seth, Cena went back to Hollywood for the time being,...so who, exactly, has come out of a Tribal Chief Roman Reigns feud better for it, other than Roman himself?

A little under 100 days until he passes Brock Lesnar as the longest reigning Universal Champion of all time. Can't believe, in this day and age, we are going to have another 500+ day title reign.

In this day and age, if you're booking a title reign that's more than 6 months long, you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

as I don't see him losing to Brock... and the next PPV is Survivor Series (THE ONLY NIGHT THAT RAW AND SMACKDOWN GO HEAD TO HEAD!) and after that we got nothing until January...
so yeah Roman's holding it for the entire year.
