'The Game' might never find another candidate to join his elite club either.

He's part of an exclusive list of workers who can boast about holding the WWE title in three separate decades. Who are the others? Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar. They've all shown unreal longevity at different points in company history, and it'd be some ask for anybody on the current roster to match them.

Hogan won titles in the 1980s, 90s and early-00s. Rocky and Hunter experienced their reigns in the 90s, 00s and 2010s. Orton in the 00s, 2010s and 2020s. Lesnar the same. It's impressive that these guys have been able to stomp their way to the top of the ladder across such a broad time period.

Someone like Roman Reigns could, in theory, become part of the group if he wins a title after 2030. After all, the 'Tribal Chief' has worn WWE's top prize in the 2010s and 2020s. Bet reading this makes even the sprightliest fans feel old.
