Lilian Garcia off WWE Evolution due to respiratory infection flare-up

Lilian Garcia is out of Evolution.

Shortly before the show started on Sunday, the longtime WWE ring announcer posted on social media that due to a lingering respiratory infection, she would be unable to perform her duties, and Alicia Taylor will instead be Evolution’s ring announcer.

“I was so excited to be announcing @wwe Saturday Nights Main Event and @wwe Evolution this weekend but because of lingering effects of a respiratory infection I got some weeks ago, I was only able to announce SNME last night before my voice started wigging out,” she wrote. “Grateful to my announce sista @aliciataylorwwe for stepping up to announce Evolution tonight and so excited to celebrate all the women involved, as all the women that have paved the way to this moment!”

Garcia has been back ring announcing for WWE since last year, briefly returning after Samantha Irvin announced her departure. She finished her latest run as the ring announcer for SmackDown in March, but returned for the joint AAA/WWE Worlds Collide event that took place in June.
