Edge Posts Heartfelt Message To WWE Referee Jessika Carr

Yesterday’s (October 21) WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia was met with a lot of praise from both fans and those within WWE, with several events on the show happening for the first time ever.

One such occurance happened in Edge’s Hell In A Cell match against Seth Rollins which opened the pay-per-view. The third person in the ring during that match was WWE’s female referee, Jessika Carr.

Edge himself took to his Instagram page earlier today, sharing a photo of himself and Carr, and posted a heartfelt caption about her making history at the event, and how she was an important part of Edge’s feud with Seth Rollins.

He wrote:

I’m in the midst of my 22hr travel back home after #crownjewel and Hell in a Cell. More on that in a future post. But I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge something that may have gone unnoticed to some. Last night @wweladyrefjess refereed our match. Many firsts in doing that. The first woman to referee in Saudi Arabia. MASSIVE. Actually trying to move the needle in a positive direction. The first woman to referee Hell in a Cell. MASSIVE. She was in there for every part of this insane trilogy that I’m so proud of. Summerslam. Madison Square Garden. Crown Jewel. She’s knocking down barriers and I couldn’t be more proud of her. And she got these gigs not because she’s a woman. It’s because she kicks so much ass at her job. Many more milestones to come. When my daughters watch these matches someday I can’t wait to explain how important you were to all of this. Kudos Jess. Keep making us smile.

Stephanie McMahon also congratulated Carr on becoming the first ever woman to referee a match in Saudi Arabia, to which Carr thanked McMahon for the opportunity, saying:

I can not thank you enough for every opportunity I get to live my dreams. Thank you so much!
