The longest reigning NXT Champion of all time is none other than Adam Cole and when he was the NXT Champion then NXT was at its peak and he made the NXT Championship prestigious as WWE were going head to head against AEW at the time. Adam Cole won the NXT Championship in June 2019 and then for the whole year and plus he was the guy and he had some Of the best matches in the history of the brand but he left WWE screw years ago and is now in AEW and looking at where he is , it is certainly a downgrade for him.

At number 2 is Bron Breakker who was the most recent NXT Champion before Carmelo Hayes took it from him and he is Him now but Bron Breakker brought back the former glory of the NXT Championship and he was one of the most dominant champions of all time as he was beating all his challengers easily. He won the NXT Championship on 4th April 2022 and for a full year he was the champion and he lost the title a year later on 1st April this year to Carmelo Hayes who is looking to have the longest NXT Championship reign of all time but there is still a lot of time left.
3) Finn Balor (292 Days)
Before Adam Cole and Bron Breakker there was Finn Balor who held the record for the longest NXT Championship reign and he had this record for close to 4 years and Finn Balor was the NXT Champion who became the biggest WWE superstar and now he is regularly in big time Matches and he was the main guy in NXT and he was the NXT Champion from 2015 to 2016 and this was the time when the brand was starting to make its own name by having the best matches ok a regular basis.

4) Adrian Neville (287 Days)
Adrian Neville was the longest reigning NXT Champion before Finn Balor took the record and Neville was one of the best Wrestlers In the world and he would have banger matches against everyone and the title was elevated to a great degree when he was the NXT Champion. He was the NXT Champion from February to December 2014 and after that Neville was not able to have a big career and that is extremely sad. Hopefully he can find his feet again because he is too good a wrestler to just be doing nothing.
5) Bo Dallas (280 Days)
The NXT Championship was introduced in 2012 and just 2 years later it was Bo Dallas who was the NXT Champion and he was the first great NXT Champion that the brand had and he was the longest reigning NXT Champion before everybody took over him. If there was no Bo Dallas then the NXT Championship would not have been at the heights it has reached these days and Bo Dallas is looking like he will make his return to WWE very soon.
