#4 John Cena (1,240 days)
Word life, ladies and gentleman.
Who would've thought that the former rapper who wore NBA jerseys week in and week out would one day be towards the top of a list like this? John Cena has become one of the most iconic Superstars in the history of the business, and given his body of work, it's hard not to place him among the greatest of all time with people like Austin, Hogan and The Rock when it comes to star power.
In terms of his twelve reigns, however, Cena's average isn't quite what you'd expect it to be. With 103 days per run with the title, it would usually take just over three months for Big Match John to be dethroned by the next up-and-coming Superstar ready to knock him off of his perch.
As we approach the Royal Rumble this Sunday, it seems likely that this tally will continue to grow. We move into the super elite, starting with a man we see quite regularly these days.
