The 1,000 day streak
3 seconds into Roman Reigns entrance music and Michael Cole was already talking about the 945-day reign of Reigns. It was clear from moment one, he was winning. Why did Cole keep mentioning the streak over and over, let alone the only 4 men who held it longer?
WWE realizes no one will ever again get to the length of Backlund or Sammartino, but they badly want him to surpass Hogan, and he is getting closer. Hogan’s record was 1,474 for his first WWF World Championship reign. I still believe they split it up at WWE SummerSlam this year, and Rhodes defeats Reigns to become the WWE Champion and for some reason, the Universal belt will stay with Roman, so the streak can go on.
