Roman Reigns Says He Prefers Being World Champion For Over 1300 Days Than Having Multiple Title Reigns

The Tribal Chief wants to be the world champion forever.

As he prepares for the biggest rematch of his reign, the ‘Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns has held the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship for over 1300 days and has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

During a conversation on the Pat McAfee Show, Reigns said that he prefers putting on the greatest reign of all time over trying to win the big one multiple times.

“I’ve always known it. I’ve always been striving for it. I’ve always had this obsession for it. I was born in 85. When you’re growing up in the 90s and you have Michael Jordan, there is this mentality. It was different times, back in the day. I’m not trying to get all old school on everybody, but it was tougher. It’s a tougher mentality than it is today. That was just something that conditioned me to chase it and want to be on a different level than everybody else,” he said.


“I don’t take anything away from anybody. What John has done, as far as generations come, that is GOAT-level stuff, but for me, it’s always been about quality, not quantity. John has a lot of title reigns, but he doesn’t have a title reign that can compare what I’ve done in the last four years,” he said. “This quality that I’ve put on display, it speaks for itself. The business backs everything that has happened. It’s made this place more lucrative than it’s ever been, it’s made this place attractive. My reign has gone through the most crazy and turbulent time in WWE history. That says a lot. I will always take the quality of this run over going 14, 15, 16 times.”

Reigns is set to go one-on-one with Cody Rhodes on night two of WrestleMania 40, but he first has to team up on night one with his cousin, The Rock as the two take on Rhodes and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.
