Bianca Belair has officially passed the 200-day mark as Raw Women's Champion.

That, according to research done by Twitter account @WrestleOps, makes Bianca the longest reigning black World Champion in WWE history. Her stint with the Raw Women's belt surpasses prior World Title reigns for Bobby Lashley (196 days), Kofi Kingston (180), Sasha Banks (167), Naomi (140) and The Rock (119).

Note the italics for "World Champion" there - MVP's 343-day run as United States Champ doesn't factor in, because that title is a secondary strap and not a recognised World one. It's still damn impressive though, and so is Jade Cargill's ongoing AEW TBS Title reign outside WWE.

So, there you have it. Belair has made history by continuing to show why she's one of the best female workers to come along this generation. Bianca has had blistering bouts vs. everyone from Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks, to Bayley and more.

Her Raw Women's Title run shows no signs of stopping either. WWE decided to keep the belt on Bianca at Extreme Rules, and it looks like she could hold it all the way to WrestleMania 39.
