WWE’s Elimination Chamber event in Perth made significant waves, setting the stage for key matchups at WrestleMania XL, notably Becky Lynch versus Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship.
Lynch secured her shot by triumphing in the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match against tough competitors, including Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez, and Naomi.
A noteworthy aspect of the event was referee Jessika Carr’s historic role as the first woman to officiate inside the Chamber structure.
Carr took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the opportunity and the journey, emphasizing her commitment to breaking barriers and making history both in WWE and in life.
In her Instagram post, Carr wrote,
“Owning this journey every step of the way. To be a powerful woman is my goal. Not just in this industry but in life. So to push past barriers, make history in the company I love, perform at the highest level and overcome challenges really lights me up more than you know. First woman to referee in an Elimination Chamber ☑️ Gratitude. More dreams to conquer. #WWEchamber #jessikacarr.”

However, Lynch’s victory received mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing disappointment over its predictability. There were suggestions that alternative storylines, such as a potential WrestleMania clash between Ripley and Liv Morgan, could have been explored.
Responding to her unexpected elimination from the Chamber, Liv Morgan took to social media to assert her determination, stating, “It’s not over until I say it is,” on X.
Morgan, who garnered significant support from the Australian crowd during the event, demonstrated her resilience and determination to bounce back from setbacks.
It’s worth noting that Morgan had previously expressed her heightened motivation, even claiming she could take on former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley in the ring, indicating her confidence and ambition in the WWE landscape.
