3) CM Punk held the WWE Championship for 434 days.
Philip Jack Brooks, CM Punk, ended his WWE career on a very high note as he had the sixth-longest title reign in WWE history.
The Best in the World made his debut for WWE in 2005 and became a famous face fighting with The Undertaker, John Cena, and more.
Punk’s primary championship era came in his final years as his popularity grew so much that Vince McMahon had to give him a new contract.
Punk defeated Alberto Del at Survivor Series in November 2011 to regain the WWE Champion. From then, a new era started, probably what we will call as CM Punk era.
He defeated many superstars like The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry, and even Chris Jericho. Punk defeated Jericho at WrestleMania 26. Punk went past Daniel Bryan and Kane also on some occasion.
The Rock returned and challenged CM Punk for the WWE Championship at Raw 1000; that year, Punk went past Cena’s tally of 380 days. Although his reign was ended by The Rock in January 2013 at 434 days.
