Former WWE referee Mike Chioda made his AEW debut during tonight’s live episode of Dynamite on TNT.
Chioda was the referee for the TNT Championship Match with Cody sucessfully defending against Scorpio Sky.
Chioda was released by WWE back in April as part of the cutbacks made by the company due to the financial challenges of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
Prior to his release from WWE, Chioda spent 35 years overall with the company.
