If WWE need a key statistic to act as a lead-in to Charlotte's WWE Women's Title match against Natalya at Extreme Rules, they should look no further. Come that pay-per-view, Charlotte will have worked eleven consecutive monthly supershows for the promotion.

That's a WWE record, a feat that no woman has ever before.

There's something quite eye-opening about that information, especially considering some of the top names that have filled the female ranks over the years. Stars like Trish Stratus, Chyna, Lita and Mickie James have all featured extensively, but none were able to work as consistently on pay-per-views as Charlotte has.

That's something to shout about for Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton at Extreme Rules. Stretching right back to Battleground on June 19, 2015, Charlotte hasn't missed an opportunity to stamp her mark on WWE's biggest shows.

Eleven consecutive matches on pay-per-view is not to be sniffed at, it's a tool WWE can use to show how serious they are about promoting women's wrestling in a more positive fashion than they perhaps once did.
