WWE: 10 Questions You Most Want Answered (July 26)
6. Impressive Championship Reigns
From @DizTrain: What are the top championship reigns since the WWE/WCW merger? Consider matches and storylines. Any belts can be included.
The one that stands out the most is CM Punk's 434 days as the WWE Champion from Survivor Series 2011 until Royal Rumble 2013. That's the best championship reign just because of how long it was. John Cena had two really long reigns with the WWE Title: the longer one was from September 2006 until October 2007, which lasted 380 days, and which didn't end with a loss as he dropped it because of a torn pectoral muscle. He also had a 280 day reign in 2005 that was pretty good. For secondary titles, Shelton Benjamin had the longest as IC Champion since 2001. The longest US Title run was actually Dean Ambrose's 351 days that ended in May of this year, but that wasn't impressive. MVP had it for 343 days and he was more of a fighting champion. If you're talking about quality of matches and feuds, that's more of a long ranging answer. Maybe that's a future top 10 list. Never know!
