In a surprising turn of events following WWE RAW on June 2, World Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston took to social media to announce that he had filed an official complaint against referee Jessika Carr.
The incident occurred during a tag team match involving The War Raiders and Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, where Kingston and Xavier Woods were present at ringside.
As part of the New Day's usual antics, Kofi and Woods stirred up some ringside mischief - something that didn't sit well with Carr. In a swift move, the referee ejected both tag champs from ringside, a decision that left Kofi visibly frustrated.
Hours later, the veteran WWE Superstar took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his stance clear.
'Let the record show: I have just filed an official complaint about the heinous and overreaching actions of @WWELadyRefJess tonight,' Kingston wrote.
Referee Jessika Carr hits back with no regrets
Referee Jessika Carr didn't let the criticism go unanswered. In a confident response, she posted, 'Complain all you want my friend, but the official has the final word. Sorry, not sorry…..pal.

Better luck next time.'
While Carr's tweet was met with support from many fans, others took the opportunity to stir the pot, reigniting debates about officiating decisions in WWE. One user commented, 'Good call Jess!' while another fan humorously added, 'I'm writing a letter and sending it to corporate too. Snail mail.'
Amid the ringside chaos, Judgment Day capitalized. Roxanne Perez, the group's newest ally, distracted The War Raiders at a crucial moment, giving Balor the opening to land his signature Coup de Grace and secure the win for his team.
While neither team has officially been announced as No. 1 contenders yet, the win puts Balor and McDonagh in a strong position to challenge Kingston and Woods for the World Tag Team Championships in the near future.

Will WWE respond to Kofi Kingston's complaint?
As of now, WWE has not issued any formal response to Kingston's complaint, nor has on-screen authority figure Adam Pearce commented on the matter. However, fans online are watching closely. Some believe this could be the start of a larger storyline, especially with Judgment Day potentially eyeing the tag titles and tensions between teams reaching a boiling point.
Others see this as a playful jab by Kingston, who is known for blending humor and theatrics into his performances - both in the ring and online. Still, the fact that the complaint was made 'official' adds a layer of intrigue. WWE's history of incorporating real-time fan interactions and social media moments into ongoing feuds means this incident could escalate quickly in the coming weeks.
Whether it results in a disciplinary hearing, a comedic backstage segment, or adds fuel to an upcoming tag team feud, Kofi's actions have once again put New Day in the spotlight. With Jessika Carr holding her ground and Judgment Day gaining momentum, the tag division may be heading into a volatile phase.
For now, fans will have to wait and see if Kingston's formal protest leads to any consequences - or if it's simply another example of WWE's chaos unfolding both inside and outside the ring.
