WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia announces engagement
WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia began Monday morning by sharing some big news with her followers on social media.
During an Instagram live session, Garcia revealed that she is now engaged. She has not disclosed much information about her partner but said he is someone who understands the industry because he was once a wrestler. Garcia said they do not have a timeframe yet for when their wedding is going to take place.
Before this, Garcia was single for four years after the end of her marriage to ex-husband Christopher Jozeph. That time between relationships was a blessing for Garcia, who believes it gave her time to heal and learn what she wants in a relationship.
Garcia, whose history with WWE dates back to the late 1990s, is currently on her third stint with the company. She has a part-time role ring announcing on Saturday Night’s Main Event and other select WWE shows. Garcia recently signed a new two-year contract to continue her time with WWE.
Outside of WWE, Garcia uses her singing talents in her role serving as the worship leader at a church.
WWE’s next Saturday Night’s Main Event episode will take place on December 13 and will feature John Cena’s last match. Garcia said during today’s Q&A that, barring any surprises, she believes she’ll be the ring announcer for that bout. It would be an “absolute honor” for her to do Cena’s final introduction, with Garcia noting that she remembers announcing him as “The Prototype” at a live event before his WWE TV career began.
A tournament is set to kick off on November 10 to determine the opponent for Cena’s last match.
