But the biggest current goal; peace where my feet are and pride in all that I’ve achieved. Thank you for being along with me in this incredible journey," wrote Carr.
Jessika Carr opened up about Edge's influence to have her officiate at WWE Crown Jewel
Jessika Carr discussed how Edge helped her become the first female referee to officiate a match in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking on Table Talk #94, Carr revealed that a conversation between veteran referee Charles Robinson and Edge played a major role in Carr's history-making moment. She said:
"At this point in his career, Edge likes working with people he's comfortable with in the ring, as far as referees are concerned. And that person, for the longest time, has been Charles Robinson. At SummerSlam, Charles wasn't booked to be there, he wasn't planned to be there. So it was kind of a discussion between him and Edge of 'hey, do you want to give Jessika a chance? I think Jessika would be a good option.' He was all about it, Edge was, giving me have the opportunity to learn, to be in the ring with someone that has gone through all the things he has in his career. So that was the first step of doing it at SummerSlam. And I stepped up to the plate, got all the kudos for that and it was amazing." [H/T: Wrestling Inc]
