A former WWE name who had been with the company since 1989 until this year has confirmed details of his current deal with AEW.
Mike Chioda revealed that he is under a part-time deal with All Elite Wrestling after having refereed several matches for the promotion since being released by WWE in April.
Speaking with Wrestling Inc, Chioda said:
“Right now, it’s not a done deal, a full-time deal. Right now, it’s a part-time deal, which is great for me right now. I love the vibe there. AEW has a fantastic vibe with Cody Rhodes, and Chris Jericho and a lot of guys, Jake Hager over there and stuff. You got some good old school talent, FTR, and you got some young talent that is amazing there. It was kind of weird.
“I feel green sitting around looking at all this talent that’s upcoming because I’ve been watching the show on TNT, of course, before I started. I think they really got a good thing going on there with Tony Khan, and Cody Rhodes and them guys.”
Since being let go by WWE, Chioda has refereed a couple of big matches for AEW, namely Cody Rhodes vs Scorpio Sky for the TNT Title and Orange Cassidy vs Chris Jericho on August 12, then the TNT Title match between Rhodes and Darby Allin at Full Gear on November 7.
