The Rock teamed up once again with another WWE referee, Mike Chioda, and Chris Jericho, to take on The Dudley Boyz and Nick Patrick on an episode of WWE SmackDown in October 2001.

Both referees clashed in the ring before Bubba Ray Dudley interfered. The Rock rescued Chioda and Patrick ended up getting a Rock Bottom, before receiving a People's Elbow from Chioda for the pin.

On a recent episode of Monday Mailbag on AdFreeShows, Chioda dubbed teaming up with The Rock and Jericho as a 'great experience' and said that his family loved every second of the match.

"Man, it feels great to go undefeated. That's a good question (laughs). I actually love the fact that I'm undefeated. That was such a great experience for me. I had so much fun. My family loved it. My sisters, everybody, all my nieces and everybody and my mom were just so thrilled when they got to see that match and stuff like that, a bunch of friends. I mean, it was just a fantastic experience for me. So, and it was great to get a chance to actually, I think that was the only match I've ever wrestled in, in WWE history and in my career."

Chioda was let go by WWE last year as part of budget cuts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
