WWE Superstar Bianca Belair recently expressed her desire to surpass Roman Reigns as the longest-reigning, modern-day champion in the company.
Belair won the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 38 from Becky Lynch. She held the championship for over a year and defended it several times. In fact, she completed one year as champion recently and took down Asuka at WrestleMania 39 to continue her dominant run.
Belair spoke to Ad Free Shows this week and claimed she wanted a title run comparable to Roman Reigns's. The EST of WWE mentioned that she wanted to remain champion until next year and have a lengthy title run.
"I just became the longest-reigning Black champion in WWE. Look at Roman Reigns. I want to go for it all. I want to have a reign like Roman Reigns and break his record, you know? I want to be champion next year." (H/T eWrestlingNews)
