• Legend Signs New 2-Year Contract With WWE
Lillian Garcia is set to stay with WWE until late 2027. The legendary Ring Announcer took to Instagram to reveal that she has signed a two-year contract extension with the Sports Entertainment company.
“Exactly 1 year ago today, I returned to my home the @wwe. What an incredible year it has been being able to announce shows on Raw, Smackdown, NXT, Saturday Nights Main Event & Worlds Collide! In fact, being able to continue to also sing and now announce in Spanish has been such an added treat!!
This post is to all of you who have been with me from the beginning and continue to support me! The love you gave me last night on Raw filled my soul! (Some of your stories are included – swipe)
Which is why I am so excited to announce that just yesterday, I signed on for another TWO YEARS with WWE!!!! When I say ‘I’ll Be Ur Girl Til The End Of The World’ I mean it!
Love you all and can’t wait to continue riding this journey with you! See you next at Saturday Nights Main Event – November 1st in Salt Lake City, UT!
Let’s goooooo!!!”
The 59-year-old has mainly worked Saturday Night’s Main Event during her ongoing WWE run, which began after Samantha Irvin’s departure last year. She also made several appearances on RAW to fill in for Alicia Taylor.
• Samantha Irvin Reveals 2-Year Non-Compete After WWE Exit, Mercedes Moné Offers Legal Help
It has been a year since former WWE Ring Announcer Samantha Irvin parted ways with the company.
A fan on X reflected on her departure, writing:
“I can’t believe it’s been one year since @SamanthaTheBomb left WWE. While I have a lot of memories of her time there I am more proud to be a fan of hers now. I can’t get enough of her music and just so happy that she’s doing great things outside of wrestling. And when that day comes when she back in wrestling I will be cheering her on with whatever she doing.”
Samantha responded to the post and revealed that she’s still under a two-year non-compete clause, meaning she cannot sign with another pro wrestling company for one more year.
“One year down, one year left on my non-compete! Can’t wait I hope you enjoy my songs in the meantime and look back on all the memories as fondly as I do! Love & miss you all and remember- I NEVER left FOR music, I am music. Hope to see you soon…..”
Following her post, AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné offered help against WWE: “I know several attorneys”
Samantha replied: “thank you, my girl”
Her husband, AEW heel wrestler Ricochet, joked about the situation on X. He tweeted:
“She’s got one year left before I decide where she can work. Or I might decide that she has to stay at home, again. Either way it’s my decision where she goes. Not hers. #Ahaaaa”
