Lilian Garcia Returning To WWE As Smackdown Announcer

by Matt Holmes

WWE's official website has announced that former Diva Lilian Garcia is to return to WWE as a full-time announcer on the SmackDown brand. WWE.com have a new video on their site with Garcia that was taped backstage from last night's Raw in Tampa, Florida. Garcia then confirmed the news on Twitter;

"Yes! It's true!! All happening so fast! I am returning to WWE as the SmackDown Announcer!! So excited!! And video trailer out tomro! Big wk"
Garcia debuted with the WWE in August 1999 and became a staple of the new WWE for the next decade and she was certainly easier on the eye than Howard Finkel! By 2009, Garcia became the first WWE diva to stay with the company for a decade and on the 21st September edition, just one month after 10 years since her debut, she announced her last edition of Raw from Little Rock, Arkansas. Though she did come to WWE's rescue on April 19th, 2010 edition of Raw when her replacement ring announcer Justin Roberts and the WWE were stranded in Euripe because of the Ash Cloud. After focusing on a music career, Garcia will be back with the WWE, perhaps before the end of the year. Garcia replaces long time SmackDown announcer Tony Chimel and it's currently unknown what his status with the company is as of the time of writing.
