Lilian Garcia Reveals WWE Offered Ongoing Role After Return

Lilian Garcia may no longer be the weekly voice of WWE SmackDown, but her emotional return to the company has turned into something much deeper than just another gig.

In a heartfelt update shared during her appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the longtime WWE ring announcer opened up about how much being back has meant to her personally. “Amazing,” she said about the experience. “The fans have been incredible, just the love from that to the people I’m working with, to the new talent that’s there, the girls in the locker room, absolutely incredible.”

Garcia, who wrapped up her recent run on Raw and SmackDown, made it clear that she’s not gone for good. And neither are the relationships she rekindled along the way. “They all reached out to me, or they’re like, ‘We’re gonna miss you on a weekly basis.’ They know I’m not gone-gone, but they’re like, ‘We’re gonna miss you on a weekly basis.’”

But the return also hit a personal chord for her. “Working back with Triple H and seeing all of these people that I worked with for so many years, all the agents now that are the producers that are there. It’s my family,” Garcia shared. “I don’t have my parents anymore, I didn’t have kids, and I’m not in a relationship… So it is my family…”

WWE clearly felt the same. Even after her scheduled appearances ended, the company made a point to keep her involved. Garcia revealed, “…and the fact that they said, ‘Look, we really want to work this out to keep you in some capacity here’, man, that’s music to my ears and to my heart.”

With her spot on Saturday Night’s Main Event and more appearances being discussed, Garcia isn’t just making cameos—she’s holding onto something much more meaningful. It’s not about the spotlight; it’s about being home.
