Roman Reigns Wwe Universal Championship Reign Hits Historic Milestone

Roman Reigns’ ongoing reign as WWE Universal Champion officially reached one calendar year on Monday. “The Tribal Chief” first won the title at the 2020 Payback event, defeating both “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a triple threat just as his heel persona was beginning to emerge. He has since gone on to defend it against Jey Uso, Strowman, Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Cesaro, Rey Mysterio and, most recently, John Cena at the SummerSlam pay-per-view. He’ll put the title on the line on this week’s Friday Night SmackDown against Finn Balor.
