WWE Monday Night Raw is set to roll into the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana on September 22nd, but fans expecting to hear Alicia Taylors voice will be in for a surprise. WWE is making a one-night-only change to the ring announcer lineup and heres why.
Alicia Taylor took to social media and revealed shes taking the night off, confirming that WWE veteran Lilian Garcia will be stepping in to handle ring announcing duties. Alongside a selfie with Garcia, Taylor gave fans the update directly.
Tagging in @LilianGarcia Thanks for holding down #RAW tomorrow! When a fan asked if shed be back, Taylor was quick to calm any concerns. day off!
The move isnt part of any bigger change to the commentary team or long-term shake-up. Its simply a scheduled night off for Taylor something rare for WWE on-air talent and WWE saw the perfect opportunity to bring in one of their most iconic voices to fill in.
Lilian Garcia, who stepped away from full-time announcing earlier this year, is still used for special events and appearances. Known for her emotional delivery and crowd connection, Garcia stepping in ensures the shows energy stays high in Evansville.
While Alicia Taylor will be back as usual following this episode, Garcias appearance adds an extra spark to whats already expected to be a solid night for the red brand.
