Adam Pearce has made his ruling, and Becky Lynch did not get the outcome she wanted. After Lynch publicly demanded the suspension of referee Jessika Carr following her Women’s Intercontinental Championship loss to AJ Lee, the RAW General Manager addressed the controversy in a direct video statement from Indianapolis.

Reading from the petition, Pearce acknowledged the claims that Carr’s actions compromised fairness and damaged the integrity of WWE competition. He explained that part of his responsibility is to serve as an authority figure in disputes, describing himself as an arbiter when situations escalate to this level.
Pearce went on to defend the role of WWE referees, emphasizing the pressure and split-second decision-making required during championship matches. He stressed that their calls are made in real time and carry significant weight.
After multiple reviews of the footage, Pearce delivered a clear verdict. There will be no suspension for Jessika Carr. Despite Lynch’s boycott threat and organized fan campaign, management is standing by its official.
AJ Lee remains the reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion, and Lynch now finds herself publicly overruled. With RAW on deck, the atmosphere surrounding this rivalry has only intensified.
