In a heartwarming display of solidarity and respect among professionals, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) referee Aubrey Edwards took to social media to extend her congratulations to WWE referee Jessika Carr on achieving a monumental milestone in her career.
Edwards, who has been an integral part of AEW’s refereeing team for over five years, reached out to Carr after she made history by officiating the Undisputed WWE Championship match at Backlash: France between AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes.
Carr’s achievement marked a significant milestone in the WWE, as she became the first-ever female referee to officiate a world championship match in the company’s history.
This groundbreaking feat has sent ripples of excitement throughout the wrestling community, and Aubrey Edwards was among the first to offer her congratulations.
The inspirational message from Edwards is a testament to the camaraderie that exists among wrestling professionals, transcending promotional boundaries. It is a refreshing reminder that, despite competing interests, these individuals share a deep respect for one another’s accomplishments.

This pioneering achievement paved the way for other female referees to break into the male-dominated world of professional wrestling.
Edwards’ message to Carr is not just a gesture of goodwill; it also underscores the importance of female representation in professional wrestling. As trailblazers in their respective promotions, both Edwards and Carr are inspiring a new generation of female referees to pursue careers in the sport.
As the world of professional wrestling continues to evolve, it is heartening to see women like Aubrey Edwards and Jessika Carr shattering glass ceilings and pushing boundaries. Their achievements serve as a beacon of hope for aspiring female referees, demonstrating that with hard work and perseverance, they too can reach the pinnacle of success in thismale-dominated industry.
