Former WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley has achieved a significant accomplishment by nearing Roman Reigns’ record. At WWE WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns made history by main-eventing WrestleMania for the ninth time. However, the show also saw Reigns’ longest championship reign, which lasted 1316 days, come to an end.
Before securing the title in 2020, Reigns had been pursuing an extraordinary record. However, at WWE Money in the Bank last year, Jey Uso dealt Roman Reigns his first pinfall loss in over three years. Reigns’ streak of being unpinned for 1,294 days ended, with his last pinfall defeat occurring in 2019 against Baron Corbin.
The former WWE Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, recently relinquished her title due to injury. As fans have noted, Ripley is also following a similar path as Roman Reigns. In her singles career, Rhea Ripley has remained unpinned for over 730 days, marking over two years since she suffered a pinfall loss against Liv Morgan.
With Roman Reigns holding the record of 1294 days without being pinned, Rhea Ripley is getting closer to this incredible record. Now, speculation and anticipation among fans have reached new heights. If she attains this feat, it would undoubtedly be a fantastic achievement in her WWE career.
