10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (July 22)

10. The New Day Are The Longest-Reigning WWE Tag-Team Champions Yet

It's been on the cards for a while, but this week was finally the one during which The New Day made WWE Tag-Team Title history. On Wednesday, the team finally surpassed a long-standing record in the company, and have now held the belts for over 331 days. That record has been running since 2006.

That year, Paul London and Brian Kendrick managed a colossal 331-day stint with the titles. Of course, WWE count the lineage of the current belts as having started in 2002. Then SmackDown GM Stephanie McMahon introduced the titles as a counterpoint to the World Tag-Team Titles on Raw.

In an era when title reigns aren't usually longer than a few months, The New Day have surpassed all expectations to deservedly become record-breakers. Since SummerSlam 2015, they have been at the top of the tag-team mountain, and their success hasn't been forced.

London and Kendrick were great champs, but even they pale in comparison to the connection New Day share with live audiences. They're at the top for the reason, and have now set WWE history.
