On Saturday night the stars of WWE stepped into the spotlight in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the Backlash premium live event and three championships were on the line. Even though three titles were defended, none of them changed hands at Backlash.
Bianca Belair defended the Raw Women’s Championship against Iyo Sky in the opening match, and Belair managed to retain when she defeated Iyo Sky after 18 minutes. With her victory Bianca Belair made history as she became the longest reigning Raw Women’s Champion of all time.
The EST of WWE has held the Raw Women’s Championship for 400 days, but it seems that may be far too long for some. One fan responded to a tweet from WWE and called Bianca Belair’s reign boring when they posted the following: “12 more months of this boring championship reign”
It seems that former WWE star Kairi Sane agreed with the notion that Bianca Belair’s reign has been boring as she liked the fan’s tweet.

One way or another it doesn’t look like fans should expect to see a title change anytime soon as it was recently reported that WWE is looking to update their history books with longer modern title reigns.
Bianca Belair isn’t the only champion who has had a long reign as Gunther has been Intercontinental Champion for 331 days, and Roman Reigns will cross 1,000 days as Universal Champion later this month.
How do you feel about WWE giving Superstars longer reigns with the belts? Sound off in the comments below.
