WWE Did You Know – Finn Balor, Kofi’s Record, Jinder Mahal, Asuka

Series of “WWE Did You Know” Type Facts and Records

In a “WWE Did You Know” type fact, Finn Balor celebrated his 36th birthday today. Balor gave thanks to those wishing him a happy birthday on Twitter.


Kofi Kingston recently became the first wrestler in WWE history to win the WWE, World, RAW, and Smackdown tag team championships. The record was set during Sunday’s Battlegrounds pay-per-view when New Day defeated The Usos for Smackdown’s Tag Team Championship.


Jinder Mahal’s current WWE championship reign is on pace to break several records within the next two months. Mahal is only one day from passing Daniel Bryan’s combined days as WWE champion and two weeks away from passing Big Show’s combined WWE title reigns.

If Mahal retains as WWE champion at SummerSlam, he will need another eight days to surpass Chris Jericho’s combined WWE/Undisputed reigns. Mahal needs 52 days from today in order to surpass both Ric Flair and Roman Reigns combined days as WWE champion.


Asuka is currently four days away from surpassing New Day for third longest title reign in modern WWE history. This covers the period between Hulkamnaia to the present and includes all promotions owned by WWE (WCW, ECW, etc).

Asuka is currently 23 days away from surpassing Rockin Robin (502 days) for second longest title reign in WWE history. If she retains the NXT Women’s Championship at Takeover: Brooklyn III, she will very likely surpass Lex Luger’s US Championship reign of 523 days for longest ever title reign in WWE’s modern era.
