5 Reasons why Roman Reigns should break Brock Lesnar's 503-day record reign as WWE Universal Champion

#4 Surpassing Brock Lesnar would add another layer to their long-term WWE feud

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar had their first one-on-one match in WWE at WrestleMania 31. Of course, Seth Rollins cashed-in his Money in the Bank briefcase during the contest so we couldn't find out who had the winning edge on that night.

Since then, the pair have collided multiple times over the years, with both Reigns and Lesnar getting the better of each other. The Tribal Chief has won the last two one-on-one matches between the pair. However, Brock Lesnar had Reigns' number prior to those bouts.

If Roman Reigns was to surpass Brock Lesnar's record, it would certainly add another layer to their rivalry. It would show just how far the Head of the Table has come and would prove himself to truly be WWE's top star.

#3 Roman Reigns is the present and the future of WWE

When you look at the WWE roster, there is only one superstar that stands head and shoulders above the rest: Roman Reigns.

Many feel he was overpushed as the main event star early in his career. However, he has now proven exactly why he is the present and the future of the company.

At the age of 36, there's still plenty of years left in the tank for the former Big Dog. He will no doubt be leading WrestleMania's main events for years to come. Being the record-breaking Universal Champion will only reaffirm that.
