As of my last update, Bruno Sammartino holds the record for the longest single reign as a world champion in WWE history, with a reign lasting 2,803 days as the WWE Champion.
Traditionally, this title was seen as a stepping stone to the NWA World Championship. This is exactly what the title was for Lex. From 1987 - 1991, Lex was seemingly always either the U.S. Champion or the number one contender for it. Over an 874 day period, he was only without the title for 65 days. While champion, he was involved in a feud with Ric Flair for the NWA World Championship. In 1991, he vacated the title when he won the vacant NWA World Championship from Barry Windham. So i think Lex Lugar is the longest U S Champion.
The greatest champion in the history of the WWE is Macho Man Randy Savage.
The longest reigning United States Champion is Lex Luger who has been the champion from May 22, 1989 to October 27, 1990. Lex Luger has been the United States Champion for 523 days before losing to Stan Henson, but he did though win it back from him and became 4 time United States Champion. Have a nice day!
