On Monday, Jinder Mahal's WWE Title reign reached the 119 day mark. Though it'd be ridiculous to claim that Jinder is even comparable to the great Ric Flair, his sole title reign has lasted longer than both enjoyed by Flair during the early-90's. It's even longer than all 3 Roman Reigns title stints too.

Ric held the title for 77 and 41 days respectively across 2 reigns in 1992. Combined, they lasted just 118 days. The same is true for Roman Reigns, who coincidentally has held the belt for 41 then 77 days apiece. Don't forget that his first win was ended on the same night when Sheamus cashed in MITB at Survivor Series 2015.

It's pretty bizarre to think that Jinder Mahal, who was regarded as enhancement talent before his Spring time push, has held the title longer than both Ric Flair and Roman Reigns. Soon, Jinder will be able to boast that he has topped Eddie Guerrero (133 days) too.

Mind-blowing.
