WWE released and furloughed dozens of people in April during the coronavirus pandemic, and that included senior referee Mike Chioda. Chioda thanked his co-workers and fans in the aftermath of that decision.
Tonight’s (Aug. 12) episode of AEW Dynamite included Cody Rhodes defending the TNT championship against Scorpio Sky. The design of the title was finally finished for this episode, and Mike Chioda showed up in the ring as the man to hold up the title and officiate this championship match.
The legendary referee Mike Chioda will be calling the action!
