Lilian Garcia is stepping away from WWE as a full-time announcer

While Lilian Garcia will no longer be associated with SmackDown as the full-time announcer going forward, she is far from done with the company.

Last week, she announced that it was her final day with the blue brand as the announcer, but she was still going to be working on other projects with them. She also informed them that she would be singing at special events and would also be working for the company for the Saturday Night's Main Event shows.

As a result, fans have not seen the last of the legendary announcer quite yet, even if it is going to be some time before she appears again.
