10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (May 20)

10. Some WWE Employees Thought Lilian Garcia Had Been Released

Lilian Garcia had taken a few weeks off from her duties and returned to WWE screens on the latest edition of Monday Night Raw. Her father stricken with cancer, Garcia understandably wanted to be by his side, which explains her sabbatical. Internally, some WWE employees thought she may have been released.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer put out a post explaining where such rumours had come from. Lilian's name had even been mentioned on a memo detailing those who had their contracts terminated, which makes it easier to imagine why some within the promotion believed she had left the organisation.

Far from being canned by WWE, Lilian was instead simply tending to personal matters. She resumed her duties on Monday evening, apparently much to the surprise of those who thought she had left weeks before.

Until she actually appeared on Raw, nobody was quite sure what to make of the whole situation. The Observer found information lacking from WWE themselves, which only thickened the plot. It appears the company didn't clear the air with those actually working for them, either.
