Lilian Garcia Was Originally Told Her WWE Return Last Year Was Just Temporary
Lilian Garcia returned to WWE on the May 13, 2024, episode of Raw, where former ring announcer Samantha Irvin asked her to announce the King of the Ring quarter-final match between Gunther and Kofi Kingston.
She then made sporadic appearances on WWE television until she signed a full-time contract with the company in October 2024 following Samantha Irvin’s exit.
However, Lilian Garcia revealed during an interview with Chris Van Vliet that WWE officials had originally told her that her return was only temporary.
“The thing is, I knew. I knew. When they offered it to me to come back, they did tell me, ‘Hey, this isn’t like for permanent announcing for Raw or SmackDown. We just really need you right now. We are… This is a new era. We want to be completely upfront with you,’ which I really appreciated.
“And I said, ‘Look, whatever you guys need. I never thought I was going to be back. And whatever you need. I love this business. I love the people I work with.’ And so, I’m like, ‘I’m excited.’ And so, when they brought me back, I knew that Raw was going to be until the changeover on January 6 for Netflix. That I knew. And they were like, ‘Okay, now we are going to put you on SmackDown. And we don’t know how long.'”
