Lilian Garcia reflects on her WWE Raw return.
Former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia appeared on the May 13th episode of WWE Raw. She shared an on-screen moment with ring announcer Samantha Irvin and praised her. Garcia then introduced Kofi Kingston to the ring.
Speaking on FaceTurn with Candace Cordelia (via Pro Wrestling Illustrated), Lilian Garcia was asked about her appearance and her moment with Samantha Irvin.
“It was really cool. When I heard that WWE was in Greenville, I was like, ‘Oh, wow, it’s only an hour and a half. I’d love to go by and say hi to everybody.’ It’d been like five years since I’d seen everybody. So I went by, and then it was Triple H, when I saw him and said hi, then he contacted me a few hours later. He’s like, ‘Hey, so I’d love to put you on the show and have you co-announce with Samantha. What do you think?’ I’m like, I’d love to do that. I don’t know, something came over me, when we were in the middle of the ring, that I felt it necessary to say and put her over and tell her what a great job she’s doing. It just came out spontaneously. I didn’t know that that’s what everybody was gonna be focused in on, but it was a beautiful moment. She’s such a fan, too. She’s always been very appreciative of my work and what I did to open up the doors for that. We’ve met before, we have met at ringside before. She was just so cute. She was like, ‘Oh my god, I gotta take my picture with you.’ She was so excited to do that co-announcing, too. It was a great moment," Garcia said.
