Nobody in WWE history has held the Smackdown Women’s Championship for more days than Bayley has. Granted, the title was only introduced a few years ago but since that time, Bayley’s 219 days (as of this writing) spent with the championship top what any other wrestler has done.
Bayley recently commented on breaking Becky Lynch’s previously held record of 216 combined days with the belt on Instagram. WWE posted the following video of Bayley’s comments to its official account:
“So, you sheep seem to be surprised that once again Bayley has made history in the WWE as the longest-combined-reigning Smackdown Women’s Champion.”
“There is 365 days in a year and I have been your champion for 217 of them,” Bayley said in reference to both her two SmackDown title reigns occurring in 2019. “Don’t even mention the 49 days that Sasha Banks and I were the inaugural Women’s Tag Team Champions. 99 days that I wasn’t a champion, you know what I was doing? I was being a role model for your kids, I was being a leader for this locker room, so it’s about time that you guys start to recognize what’s in front of you right now because I have taken over this decade and I’m going into 2020 as your Smackdown Women’s Champion and as the best role model you have ever seen.”
The longest single reign in the history of the title is Charlotte Flair’s 147-day reign with the belt from 2017 to 2018. Bayley’s last reign with the title lasted 140 days and her current run with the belt is at 79+ days.
