Mike Chioda reveals that another referee shut down Aubrey Edwards chances of signing with WWE before she joined AEW

Former WWE referee Mike Chioda answered some more questions on the latest "Monday Mailbag" podcast on AdFreeShows.com.

Mike Chioda on Aubrey Edwards trying out as a referee for WWE before going to AEW:

"Let's talk about Aubrey. She tried out for us. We were looking for a woman referee. I said, 'She's very thin. Good looking girl', and I'm thinking she can be worked with. I would be able to work with her if we were looking for a woman in business, so obviously another referee put the kaboots to it. Shut it down. I was like, f**k. I was like, ‘What happened?’ ‘I don’t know. She didn’t work out.’ ‘She didn’t work out, why?’ Next thing you know, months later or a year later, she’s on AEW.”

“When I was down in AEW, I can't even remember if she asked me any questions or anything about anything. She was very nice. She was a sweetheart. She took care of us, you know, took care of me and anything, always was very nice in what I needed or if I needed this or anything else, total respect for her, but I don't know if she picked my brain. I can't remember.”
