WWE Referee Jessika Carr Returns to Ring Action Under New Identity Kalyx

One Big Thing

WWE’s first full-time female referee Jessika Carr is wrestling again under a masked persona called “Kalyx” at recent Evolve tapings.

Key Details

• WWE filed a trademark for “Kalyx” – initially thought to be for Sol Ruca but confirmed for Carr
• Carr has competed at Evolve’s fourth taping in a tag team match
• She performed under a mask without receiving a full entrance

Background

• Prior to refereeing, Carr wrestled as:
  • Kennadi Brink
  • Jessie Kaye
  • Kennedy Lewis
• She competed in NXT and independent promotions before becoming a referee

Why It Matters

This development signals WWE’s potential plans to transition Carr back to an in-ring performer role, expanding beyond her current duties as a referee. The trademark filing suggests serious consideration for her future as a wrestler.

The Numbers

• WWE has filmed 6 episodes of Evolve
• Carr appeared on episode 4
• She became WWE’s first full-time female referee in 2019

What’s Next

Carr’s appearances in Evolve could serve as a testing ground for a broader return to in-ring competition, possibly leading to opportunities in NXT or the main roster.
