Lilian Garcia has announced the end of her full-time run with SmackDown. The WWE legend confirmed her departure from the blue brand’s roster last week.
Garcia returned to WWE in October 2024, initially serving as the ring announcer on Monday Night RAW, replacing Samantha Irvin. She later moved to SmackDown after switching roles with Alicia Taylor.
On March 14, Garcia announced that her full-time position with SmackDown had concluded. She will continue with the company as the ring announcer for all Saturday Night’s Main Event shows moving forward.
Garcia shared a photo on Instagram from a special moment with Cody Rhodes during last week’s episode in Spain. The image captured an interaction between the two in the ring during the show.
Such a special moment captured in Spain and such a privilege to have been able to witness the evolution of @americannightmarecody all these years. He has earned every bit of his success and has proven to be a true champion that will forever be remembered as one of the greats!! Much love and respect to you, Cody!
Rhodes continues to be featured prominently on WWE programming as one of the company’s top stars.
