Lilian Garcia has made her return to WWE, stepping in as the primary announcer for the red brand on this week’s RAW episode, held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Garcia filled in the shoes of Samantha Irvin.
In a grand entrance, Garcia presented the inaugural match, a showdown between The New Day and AOP, in the Tag-Team Title Contender Tournament. Despite slightly fumbling on the pronunciation of ‘Contender’, it was a small hiccup that even experienced ring announcers sometimes face.
Many greeted her comeback positively on social media, despite the minor slip-up. WWE posted a tweet saying “#WWERaw is LILIAN!”, while another user, Matt Boone, though highlighting the error, warmly welcomed her back.
The general consensus is that Garcia will serve as the enduring replacement for Irvin, however, this is pending official confirmation.
