Her last show was in Barcelona Spain, during which she could be seen emotionally addressing fans.

That moment marks the ring announcer’s last show which will be wiped from WWE’s history. Lilian Garcia, the in-ring announcer and WWE Shmd E3 competitor has officially announced that she will no longer work for the institution as a full-time employee.

From Lilian Garcia's description, we can mention an emotional summarization of her trip to Spain, where she ended up hosting and announcing for Smackdown live.

"Hyped as the show was in Spain, the Hellos from there filled my shot. Today I had filed my last Show as the In-charge of Smackdown Show, This is the gig I worked for long. But WOW, Spain is popular! Makes the love worth it.❤️.'“ Garcia added, “Yes we will be given a new face for Saturdays but I'm here for Work.”

A Legacy Etched in WWE History

Garcia began to become prominent in 1999 when she began singing the national anthem and her theme song loudly in WWE. In 2016, she left the organization but returned in 2024 to take up the announcing role upon the departure of Samantha Irvin.

Later in 2025, she shifted to SmackDown from the RAW label.

Though her on-camera work as an announcer will conclude on a full-time basis, she will appear throughout WWE.

She will remain visible in a series of TV specials. On social media, she stated, "WWE is my home, so stay tuned as a new chapter begins. I invite all of you to continue this journey with me as we share it together!"

Some of the all-time greatest WWE moments have been equaled by outstanding performances by Garcia and with this most recent role, she has established herself as part of the all-time greats in the business as an announcer.
