"We just really need you right now" - WWE asked 58-year-old star to return for a temporary role

WWE allegedly asked a popular star to come back and join the company. Current ring announcer Lilian Garcia revealed some details about her return in an interview with Chris Van Vliet.

Lilian Garcia has been a mainstay in World Wrestling Entertainment for a while. She signed up with the company last year, and her return was met with an incredibly positive reaction from fans.

While chatting with Chris Van Vliet, Lilian Garcia revealed that WWE had approached her with an offer to return following the Bad Blood Premium Live Event. However, she was told that it wouldn't be a permanent role.

"I go to Bad Blood, I’m in the audience, I’m sitting next to Booker T. Then I get the call two weeks later, 'Hey, can you come back?' The thing is I knew when they offered it to me to come back, they did tell me, 'Hey, this isn’t permanent announcing for RAW or SmackDown. We just really need you right now but this is a new era, we want to be completely upfront with you.' Which I really appreciated. I said, 'Look, whatever you guys need. I never thought I was going to be back, and whatever you need.' I love this business." [H/T - CVV]
