With a highly successful tenure as the undefeated WWE Universal Champion, Cody Rhodes continues to shine after clinching the title from Roman Reigns in WrestleMania 40’s main event (Night Two).
His remarkable win came a year on the heels of his unsuccessful attempt to snatch the title from Reigns at the 39th edition of WrestleMania.
The most recent defense of his title took place at WWE Bash In Berlin 2024, where Cody held his ground against Kevin Owens. In another notable defense, he knocked heads with Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage match on a recent episode of SmackDown, reigniting his longstanding rivalry with Owens.
As he clinches 190 days as champion, Cody is on the verge of hitting the 200-day mark in this illustrious capacity.
In the annals of WWE, Cody currently holds the 28th spot for the longest reign as Champion, just tailing Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson), who enjoyed a 210-day reign with the title in his hands.
