Lilian Garcia made a long-anticipated return to WWE on the October 21, 2024, episode of Monday Night Raw at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. However, her comeback to the ring announcer role didn’t go as smoothly as planned.
WWE fans were excited to see Garcia back on the mic after the sudden departure of Samantha Irvin. Garcia, a longtime favorite, stepped in to announce the opening match of the night, which was part of the WWE Tag-Team Title Contender Tournament. The bout featured The New Day taking on The Authors of Pain (AOP), but Garcia’s first call back in WWE saw an unfortunate slip-up.
As Garcia began to announce the match, she mistakenly said, “Number one containers tournament,” instead of “Number one contenders tournament,” leaving fans both surprised and entertained by the unintentional blunder. Despite the minor botch, Garcia’s return was still warmly received by the Philadelphia crowd, who were excited to have the iconic voice back in the WWE fold.
This marked Garcia’s official return as WWE’s full-time ring announcer on Raw, following Irvin’s surprising exit. While her botched announcement caught attention, her legacy as one of the most recognizable voices in WWE is undeniable.
With Garcia now in place as the new announcer for Monday Night Raw, fans are eager to see how she settles back into her role and whether she’ll continue to bring the same charisma she’s known for. Mistakes happen, and this one just added a little extra entertainment to an already action-packed evening.
