Wasn't Tito on impact a couple times before?
I think so I know he was the ref for a few matches involving Jeff Jarrett heres what I found
In May 2005, Ortiz made an appearance for the professional wrestling promotion
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). On May 15, 2005 at
Hard Justice Ortiz served as special guest referee in the
NWA World Heavyweight Championship title match between champion
Jeff Jarrett and challenger
A.J. Styles at the behest of
Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes. Ortiz (in
kayfabe) knocked out Jeff Jarrett with a
right hook after Jarrett shoved him. This allowed Styles to hit his "
Spiral Tap" for the
pinfall victory and claim the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Jarrett.
[43] Ortiz returned to TNA on the October 1 edition of
TNA Impact! and the following week he was revealed as the special guest referee for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship match between Jeff Jarrett and
Kevin Nash at the
Bound for Glory pay-per-view, in a segment, where he grabbed the number one contender Nash in a rear naked choke in order to prevent him from brawling with Jarrett.
[44][45] On October 23 at Bound for Glory Ortiz refereed the match for the title between Jarrett and
Rhino, a last minute replacement for Nash. Ortiz (
kayfabe) knocked out
James Storm and
Chris Harris, two of Jarrett's associates, who attempted to interfere in the match, and then counted the pinfall, which made Rhino the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

And I have also been reading that there is a good chance it is him on the videos sent to TNA about Aug. 1
