Will Washington noted that, overall, MVP is WWE's longest reigning Black champion, as he held the United States Championship for 343 days. AEW's Jade Cargill currently holds the TBS Championship, and her reign stands at 283 days and counting. The Rock's run with the Intercontinental Championship came in third at 264 days.
Cheeseburger noted that Jay Lethal held the ROH World Television Championship for 567 days and the World Championship for 427 days.
Ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole on black wrestlers holding singles titles across major promotions (WWE, WCW, AEW, etc.)
