WWE ring announcer Lillian Garcia first revealed on her Twitter account (@LillianGarcia) on April 10 that she was set to go under the knife.
Here’s a look at the video message she sent out to her followers that afternoon:

Because of the surgery, Lillian was unable to travel with the company for the overseas tour in Europe.
NXT Diva JoJo has replaced her for announcing duties, while Eden will work the other part of the tour.
There’s no word yet on when Lillian will return to work and if she’ll be able to perform during the “Monday Night Raw” tapings on April 13.
Editor’s Note
Glad to hear Lillian is doing alright. With Justin Roberts out of the picture, she becomes the defacto No. 1 announcer in WWE. Hope to see her back on television soon.
