Jessika Carr may be working as a referee in WWE right now, but she is also a trained wrestler. The star introduced herself to the WWE Universe back in 2017 when she was unveiled as WWE's first female referee at the inaugural Mae Young Classic.

Carr stated that she began training back in 2009, but actually started to take her wrestling seriously when she moved down to Florida and began training with The Dudley Boyz at Team 3D Academy.

In order to get the chance to train with the WWE Hall of Famers, Carr won an NWA scholarship, where she was chosen out of approximately 45 people to be given the chance to continue her training under the tutelage of D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley.

Carr stated that her passion was obviously on full display from the beginning, which is why she was able to win the scholarship to continue her career. Her career has since led her to WWE, where she is already making history. Of course, she isn't making history as a performer, but she did have a tryout with WWE to become a singles competitor.
