Longest Reign's in WWE History

The most renowned championship in history is the WWE Championship, even though very few wrestlers have ever held it for a long period of time.

Buddy Rogers was the first ever wrestler to be crowned as the inaugural WWE Champion. Even after 40 decades later, only 40 wrestlers or more have held the WWE Championship. Obviously, not every wrestler is given an opportunity to win the WWE Championship, but those who have held the title performed numerous kinds of jobs to be champions.
