WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus recently made a massive request for a popular current RAW Superstar. The name in question is the red brand's current ring announcer, Lilian Garcia.
Garcia joined World Wrestling Entertainment in 1999 and started performing on RAW is WAR as a ring announcer. Her first stint lasted till 2009, but she returned to the Stamford-based promotion in the same role in 2011. The legendary announcer again parted ways with the company in 2019 but kept making sporadic appearances in WWE.
After former RAW ring announcer Samantha Irvin left the Stamford-based promotion in October 2024, Lilian Garcia returned as a full-time ring announcer on the red brand.
During an interview with Inside The Ropes, Trish Stratus made a major request for Lilian Garcia. She is manifesting for the 58-year-old to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
"I believe in manifestation. I believe in throwing things out to the universe. Let's just say this, Lilian Garcia for the Hall of Fame. Good, that's out there. Universe do what you will with it. WWE Universe and the universe," Stratus said. [1:13 - 1:31]
Check out her interview below.
During an edition of Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo was concerned about Lilian Garcia joining the Stamford-based promotion again at the age of 58.
Russo believed it would be hard for Garcia to always be on the road with the rest of the talents.
"She [Lilian Garcia] is a pro, no doubt about it, bro. It's hard for me because when I saw her going back [to WWE] (...) I think she's 58 now. Bro, the road ain't easy when you get older man. It's just not easy. And that's the first thing I think about. But maybe if she's just doing RAW it won't be that bad. But the older you get, the tougher it is to be on the road."
Fans have been loving Lilian Garcia's work since she returned to RAW in October 2024. It will be interesting to see whether the Stamford-based promotion has any plans to induct the legendary ring announcer into the Hall of Fame.
