The Story didn't have to involve Roman but they've already had a match. Cody had him beat. The camera shot of a defeated Cody with Roman holding the titles in the background. The stare down on Smackdown a few months ago. It's literally all right there. Plain as day and very simple to understand. Top babyface conquers top heel. Wrestling 101. Cody haters and Samoan simps can be as loud as they wanna be. This is the story. There are SOOOO many people who've said this exact thing, and this isn't their doubt. It's that WWE will flounder it because of the myriad of times WWE have floundered good sh*t for the quick rub. Haters and simps can type as loud as they want. That is the fact.

Well, you don't hardly ever see me defending WWE and their booking. Which ironically I get blamed for being some E drone.

Set aside your current guys in favor of the Rock? What is this, 2013? Depends on the situation/plans. Are the plans for Roman to break Hogan’s record? Then you don’t want him beating Cody at WrestleMania again. Insert The Rock and have Roman retain (ugh) against him. Is the plan for Cody to finish his story at WrestleMania? Use Orton as the fill in for Roman to drop the title to Cody. You have over a month to set up a compelling feud between the two. Then you have Rock/Roman without sabotaging the WWE title. Again, it all depends on what the long-term plans are for Roman and what the WrestleMania plans are for Cody. Time will tell, but there’s certainly a few options. I'm not disagreeing with you but I wish people would get over this "Hogan record" thing. Bruno has the record. Backlund is #2 Unless Reigns surpasses Bruno then he's not getting any record. He's just a number on a list behind Bruno

Roman is close to breaking Hogan's record might as well let him break it then lose it at 41. Good idea tbh

Hogan has what many consider the “WWF/WWE” record. Most notable. Not the longest overall, even WWE’s records acknowledge that. But Hogan’s Is the notable one that would be huge if Roman broke.

Hulk Hogan: 1,474 days Roman Reigns: 1,240 days With some quick math, Roman needs to hold it for another 235 days. That’s a little over 33 weeks. By my math, it appears September 14th, 2024 would be 236 days from today.

By my math, it appears September 15th, 2024 would be 236 days from today. Roman has only been WWE champion since Mania 38. Winning that title doesn't backdate to when he won the universal. Different titles and different lineages. WWE can say whatever they want to but it's easy to find out he hasn't been WWE champion foe 1,000 whatever days

Yes and no. To younger fans or casuals, sure. But to hardcore fans who grew up with the WWF/WWE title, not the same. WWE can say it and it can be technically "factual" but you can't force acceptance of it. Nobody liked that title when it debuted and I don't think Roman's run has elevated that title to anywhere near the WWE championship. But I digress

Roman would surpass Hulk Hogan’s reign as WWE Heavyweight Champion. Whether it’s the WWF/WWE title, World Heavyweight, Undisputed, or Universal. I grew up in the same era, but a record is a record.

The record belongs to Bruno. Backlund, Hogan, Roman or whoever. Can only be at best, 2nd place. Unless Roman is going to hold the title longer than Bruno, the point has well been made with surpassing 1,000 days.

Again, Bruno and Backlund held the WWWF Championship. Before Vince created the phenomenon known as WWF/WWE.
Roman passing Hogan would break a record as the longest reigning World Champion in WWF/WWE history. Definitely not the overall record of Bruno as WWWF Champion. Again, apples and oranges.

The WWE title history lineage starts with the WWWF title and includes the WWF/undisputed/wwe championship. The WWWF became WWF in 1979, with Backlund as champion. Even if you split Backlunds time with each title, he's still held the WWF title longer than Roman. Combining the titles and using the verbiage "longest reigning heavyweight champion" still dosn't do anything because he'll have to hold the title another 4 years to break any "record". Wait a minute... WWE's own website just proved my point...

Roman is and has been a major part of Cody’s story.
