One key person who had been in the company for over 30 years and was the seniormost referee on the WWE roster, Mike Chioda, was also surprisingly let go by WWE. Chioda’s release came out of the blue as he was an important part of the company for 30+ years.
The former WWE referee recently spoke about his WWE release and how was disappointed with Vince McMahon and WWE.
Mike Chioda says Vince McMahon showed loyalty for 35 years but wonders where it went when he was released
On his new Monday Mailbag podcast, Chioda spoke about how disappointed, heartbroken and frustrated he was after being released by WWE. He stated that Vince McMahon and the rest of the McMahon family had shown him great loyalty, but he wondered where it went at the end.
Chioda said that he would have retired in six months time if WWE had asked him to, or would’ve done anything that WWE wanted him to, from training referees to even mopping floors.
Chioda debuted in Vince McMahon’s WWE as a referee back in 1989 and steadily grew up the ranks to become the company’s most important referee.
The former WWE referee has made appearances for WWE’s rival, AEW, in recent times.
