Lilian Garcia, the longtime WWE ring announcer, shared on social media that she will be unable to attend tonight’s Evolution Premium Live Event due to ongoing respiratory infections. Although she managed to announce at WWE’s Saturday Night Main Event, her health worsened, preventing her from participating in Evolution.
She explained, “We were very excited to announce the @WWE Saturday Night Main Event and @WWE Evolution this weekend, but due to the prolonged impact of the respiratory infection we acquired a few weeks ago, we were able to announce the SNME before last night’s voice began.”
Alicia Taylor will step in as the announcer for tonight’s event. Garcia expressed her gratitude to Taylor and shared her enthusiasm for celebrating the women of WWE, as well as the trailblazers who made this significant event possible.
“Thank you to Sista @aliciataylorwwe for stepping up to announce tonight’s Evolution,” Garcia wrote on social media.
Fan Take: Lilian Garcia’s absence is a reminder of how even the behind-the-scenes roles in WWE are vital to the live event atmosphere. Alicia Taylor stepping in keeps the momentum alive, showing the strength of the WWE community and the importance of evolving with new talent during landmark events.
