WWE teasing angle involving Becky Lynch and referee
WWE is teasing an angle involving referee Jessika Carr and Becky Lynch.
Lynch has blamed several recent losses on Carr, including WWE Raw this week when Carr disqualified Lynch for hitting Maxxine Dupri with the Women’s Intercontinental title belt. Carr was also the referee when Lynch tapped out to AJ Lee at Wrestlepalooza and when Lynch was counted out in another match against Dupri on the October 6 Raw.
Carr posted the following to social media on Wednesday:
“I don’t say a lot or stir up issues….but it’s wild that someone keeps talking about me….when all they’ve been doing is tapping out, getting counted out, and taking the easy way out by getting disqualified. But I’m the problem?“
Carr’s post was made after Lynch published a video on Instagram addressing her DQ loss from Monday. In the video, Lynch claimed that Carr should have disqualified Dupri for using a closed fist during their match on Raw and also alleges that Dupri’s fingernails were illegal.
Lynch said:
“In the match, clear as day, everybody saw it. Maxxine closed-fist punch to my face, an illegal maneuver. Jessika Carr should have disqualified her. What’s more, an illegal maneuver with an illegal object. I verified this through experts, through nail technicians. They have verified that the nails that Maxxine Dupri was wearing would cause intense damage to the lip.”
Prior to signing with WWE and becoming a referee in 2017, Carr wrestled as Kennedi Brink for promotions such as RISE, Shimmer, SHINE, and Ring of Honor. The Baltimore native also frequently performed for Maryland Championship Wrestling. Carr recently returned to the ring under a mask and the name Kalyx on episodes of WWE Evolve in February and April of this year. Her post and Lynch’s video are below:
