Mike Chioda Makes First Statement Since WWE Release

Mike Chioda was one of the many people who lost their jobs with WWE last week. The WWE referee had been with the company since 1989 but was let go all the same.

It was one of the more surprising releases of the day. Now, Chioda has made his first statement since the release. He posted the following on Twitter earlier today:
