#2.) Longest reigning WWE Champion in SmackDown history
When JBL lost the WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 21, he ended his run as the longest reigning WWE Champion in the history of SmackDown. It would take a full 13 years for this record to be broken and by none other than AJ Styles himself.
With many fans considering Styles to be “Mr SmackDown” of the modern era, it was on August 15th, 2018 that Styles broke the record. JBL endorsed Styles stating that he couldn’t have been prouder of him, calling him a “world class individual and athlete”.
