Lillian Garcia's latest WWE return
Previously, Garcia returned to the company after Samantha Irvin's shocking exit in October 2024. Irvin announced on October 21, 2024, that she was leaving WWE.
The news sent shockwaves through the company. Fans were hit with the news just hours before the October 21 edition of Monday Night RAW was set to begin.
So, Garcia filled in for her. She would then serve as RAW's ring announcer for several months before going to Friday Night SmackDown in January 2025. Garcia's latest tenure lasted until March 14, 2025, when she once again left the company.
While she is not a full-time ring announcer, Garcia still works with them on occasion. She is usually the ring announcer for Saturday Night's Main Event when they occur.
Garcia was one of WWE's main ring announcers for most of the early 2000s. She departed the company in 2010 before making her return in 2011.
Her second stint with WWE lasted nearly five years before her departure in August 2016. Garcia would continue to make sporadic one-off appearances before coming back in 2024.
In addition to her work with WWE, Garcia has also announced for the Professional Fighters League (PFL). She lost her voice at one point, leading to her departure from the PFL, before her WWE return.
