Lillian Garcia is backstage for this week’s episode of WWE Raw in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Garcia is at the Wells Fargo Center, where Toinght’s Raw is taking place. There is no indication at this time why she is there or if she will be on the show. Garcia was a WWE ring announcer starting in 1999. She left the company in 2016.

The news of Garcia’s presence on this week’s Raw comes on the heels of current Raw ring announcer, Samantha Irvin, revealing that she has left the company. Irvin posted on social media Monday afternoon to break the news to fans and thank many in WWE for their support.

People in WWE reportedly believed that Irvin’s departure was likely once Ricochet signed with AEW. Ricochet is Irvin’s fiancée. At this time, Irvin has not made any public statement about why she left WWE.

Irvin started her WWE announcing career in 2021. She originally tried to become a wrestler, but it didn’t work out after her first tryout. Irvin has announced on 205 Live, NXT, Smackdown and major WWE PLEs like WrestleMania.

This week’s episode of Raw features Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in the main event. This is a rematch of a previous main event that took place on the show a few weeks ago.

This week’s show also includes two tournament matches in the Number One Number One Tag Team Championship Tournament and a face-to-face showdown between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed.
