The WWE Universal Championship was established in 2016. Over the title's near eight-year history, there were officially 14 reigns between 8 champions and two vacancies. Finn Bálor was the inaugural champion. Brock Lesnar had the most reigns at three. Roman Reigns's second reign was the longest singular reign at 1,316 days, while Bálor had the shortest reign at 22 hours as he was forced to vacate the title due to suffering a legitimate injury in winning it. Reigns also held the title for the longest combined days at 1,380 days (1,379 days as recognized by WWE). Kevin Owens was the youngest champion when he won it at 32 years, 114 days old, while Goldberg was the oldest when he won the title for a second time at 53. The final recognized champion was Reigns.
