Following their rebrand from BT Sport, both Ferdinand and Woods have appeared in a video on TNT Sports' YouTube channel.
However, during the clip, the ex-England defender jokingly tells his new colleague "I didn't like you", before her move to TNT Sports.
After being picked up by Ferdinand for a drive around London, Woods pokes fun at the Manchester United legend.
"I worked as a runner before so I recognised the jobs people do," she explained. "So then I watched yours and thought ‘you’ve got to get rid of Rio’.
"Then I heard that you’re on a really lucrative long-term contract so they couldn’t get rid of you’."
Ferdinand cheekily replied: "Is this a trial then? Being a driver?"
The pair continued to chat about their careers as Woods added: "The weirdest thing is, I’ve never worked with you.
"I feel like I’ve worked with everyone in the world of sport, but I’ve never worked with you and now I’m crossing over."
The former Manchester United star then admitted: "I actually didn’t like you, I’ve got to be honest.
"I get very territorial with stuff. Normally you cross paths with people but I think I’ve seen you once or twice in passing, that’s it."
He was later asked if he gets a say in who TNT Sports hire, answering: "We don’t get a say, I’d love a say. I’d have picked you."
Ferdinand will continue as a pundit following the company's rebrand, with Woods one of several presenters joining this summer.
She will host live action from the Champions League this season, replacing Jake Humphreys in the role.
TNT Sports' Premier League coverage will get underway on August 12 as Arsenal host Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend.
