Lilian Garcia has returned to WWE full-time as a Ring Announcer and is Samantha Irvin’s replacement.
She started her new run with the company on this week’s RAW. However, she’ll need to get some “mic rust” off, as she botched in her first match back.
Instead of saying #1 Contender’s, she said #1 Container’s. You can watch it below:
After RAW went off the air, Lilian had a message for the fans and for Samantha. Here’s what she said:
“Well, now you know. Oh, my gosh. Guys, did that 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 was the full-time announcer there.
And my goodness, when my music hit and I got introduced, the cheers and the applause and the roar that you gave me tonight. Thank you. Thank you for that because I was nervous. I was so nervous.
I could even tell when I started announcing that I was nervous. But it is all worth it. It’s all worth taking a risk and a gamble and just being excited and just coming back. Just seeing everybody, between also the WWE Superstars, my friends, and reuniting with the crew.
I don’t know where this is all going, but I’m excited, and I am strapping on my seatbelt for that.
But Sam, I do want to tell you, I think you’re an extraordinary talent. You’re unbelievable. I know it could not have been easy to walk away from here, but I wish you all the success in your music career. I know you’re going to kill it. You’re going to kill it.
Okay, but WWE Universe, I look forward to seeing you. I look forward to signing your autographs and to high-fiving and all of that. I love you. I’m back, I’m back home.”
