In a recent Instagram Q&A session, Lilian Garcia disclosed that she was approached by WWE for a comeback a few weeks prior to Samantha Irvin’s exit.
Irvin ended her contract with WWE in the middle of October and shortly thereafter, Garcia returned, making her first appearance on the 21st edition of October’s RAW.
Garcia expressed her feelings on the return, saying, “When I got the phone call, just a few weeks ago, I was asked to come back. I felt as though it were a gift from my father, leading me back to this. I’ve missed you all and I must confess, when my music started playing and I stepped out in Philadelphia, I was taken aback by the amount of affection. It felt like a massive wave of energy and elation swept through me. I’m truly grateful.”
As we reported on eWn earlier, Garcia is projected to have a prolonged tenure as the WWE RAW ring announcer. However, she might not necessarily be the official replacement for Irvin.
Furthermore, the decision on Garcia’s permanent status in this position will be clarified at a future date.
