This was a fitting appearance for Garcia, as it took place on the day after Mother\'s Day. Samantha Irvin posted a photo posing with the legendary WWE ring announcer, proclaiming that this counts as her photo to celebrate the Mother\'s Day.

Lilian Garcia\'s WWE Departure
In 2016, during her second tenure with WWE, Garcia\'s father was battling cancer. This situation led her to leave her full-time role as a WWE ring announcer to spend more time with her ailing father.
After leaving WWE, Lilian Garcia started hosting two podcasts, \"Making Their Way to the Ring\" and the Spanish-language \"Luchando Con Lilian Garcia,\" both distributed by Maria Menounos\' AfterBuzz TV network. On July 31, 2017, Garcia launched her new podcast, \"Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia.\"
Despite her nearly ten-year absence from WWE, Garcia remains beloved within the company.
