The following is a new tweet from the official Twitter account of WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia:

"LilianGarcia Ok, it's official. My countdown to weeks left on Raw has started. Feeling very sad. 10 yrs is hard to chg gears. Luv u & need ur support!!"



I'll be sad to see her go...she always had the most kickass outfits at every show I saw her at! and ten years??? damn I didn't realize she'd been there that long...hasn't aged a bit! :no:

Jim Ross has updated his blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

"Tonight will be Lilian Garcia's last night as the ring announcer on Monday Night Raw. Lil, a South Carolina native, has been a mainstay on Monday night's since 1999 and will be missed. Lilian told me that she was going to be forming a band and I can see her staying busy with, potentially, a multitude of music oriented projects plus she's getting married next month, as I understand it."

"Lilian has traveled thousands of miles for WWE and was a fixture on the 'Tribute to the Troops' broadcasts over the years. I wish her the very best and she has been preparing for this exit from Monday night for quite some time. (At least she knew when she was leaving the WWE's Flagship broadcast.) I wonder if Lil will ever contemplate writing a book? That would likely be an interesting read from a female's perspective of life on the road in the wacky world of wrestling."
