Lilian Garcia returned to WWE last night on WWE RAW at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.
Garcia replaced the departing Samantha Irvin as the lead announcer for the red brand.
After Monday Night RAW wrapped up, Garcia shared a video on Instagram, reminiscing about her return as a full-time announcer and expressing her excitement and gratitude.
Garcia confessed that she felt nervous when her entrance music hit, but the enthusiastic reception from the fans, complete with cheers and applause, helped to ease her nerves.
She said, ”Well, now you know. Oh my gosh, guys did just happen? Did I just really go back to the WWE, after being gone for like 8 years? I mean, I’ve popped in every now and then but it’s been 8 years since I’ve been a full-time announcer there. My goodness, when my music hit and I got introduced, the cheers and applause that you gave me tonight, thank you for that. Because I was nervous, I could even tell I was nervous when I was announcing. But it is all worth, All worth taking a risk and a gamble and being excited and just coming back. Just seeing everyone, like the WWE Superstars, my friends, the crew and I’m excited and I’m strapping on my seatbelt for that, but Sam — I do wanna tell you, I think you’re an extraordinary talent and you’re unbelievable and I know it wasn’t easy to walk away from here and I wish you all the success in your music career. I know you’re gonna kill it. Okay WWE Universe I look forward to seeing you, signing your autographs, giving you high fives and all of that, I love you. I’m back home!”
