10 Longest Gaps Between WWE Title Defences

3. 126 Days - Chavo Guerrero (Cruiserweight), Brock Lesnar (WWE World Heavyweight)

Brock Lesnar was inevitably going to turn up on this list at some point, and it is of course his last championship run that makes the cut. The title that is currently held by Jinder Mahal was won for the fourth time by Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014, when The Beast Incarnate decimated John Cena in a match that lives long in the memory.

Lesnar defended the title (despite losing via disqualification) the next month against Cena, but that was that for Lesnar when it came to 2014. 126 days passed before Lesnar put the title on the line again, defeating Seth Rollins and John Cena at the 2015 Royal Rumble in one of the all-time great WWE triple threat matches.

Another two months passed before Lesnar defended the title again, this time against Rumble winner Roman Reigns. Suddenly Lesnar's three month silence with the WWE Universal Championship doesn't look so bad.

The WWE hasn't done a great job of booking the WWE Cruiserweight Championship since the belt returned last year, although a lot of the initial damage has been rectified by Neville's great run as champion. Despite the slow start, it is important to remember that even the days of TJP and The Brian Kendrick don't compare to the dying last years of the original WWE Crusierweight Championship.

Chavo was the penultimate champion, winning the title in an open challenge match at No Way Out in February 2007. Chavo ended Gregory Helms' one year reign, and then failed to defend that title for a quarter of a year himself. It was 126 days before the WWE Cruiserweight Championship was on the line again, Chavo defeating Jimmy Wang Yang at the first Night of Champions.
