Last night on Monday Night Raw, ring announcer Lillian Garcia botched the announcement when Kofi Kingston was coming to the ring. As Kofi was approaching the ring for his match against William Regal, Lillian announced him as "The Intercontinental Champion." This is obviously incorrect, as Kofi is the United States Champion, not the IC Champion. It's likely that Lillian just got mixed up since the IC title had been on Raw for so long before being moved to SD! in the draft.

Not to mention Kofi wore said IC belt on Raw before it moved. Easy mistake to make.

Nathan Law, she's an awful announcer, not just because she messed up once. All of the announcers in the WWE today are worthless.

I heard that, Will she be replaced, or moved? When I started watching wrestling back in 04, I thought she was a black chick with an afro

They will not drop Lillian as she is multifaceted. She can sing which saves the WWE money and she is multilingual.
Long may she stay.

Looks like Lillian Garcia is actually going to be replaced. WWE released this: WWE is looking for a young, attractive female to sing the national anthem and be our regular ring announcer every week, for one of our most popular TV shows
(WWE is estimated to be seen in 500,000,000 households in 150 countries/30 languages)...

Official announcement by JR meaning lillian is not leaving RAW
Lots of questions regarding WWE seeking a female, ring announcer/singer. This doesn’t mean that Lilian Garcia is going any where but media company’s like WWE are never NOT looking for new announce talents. I do not know what Lilian’s long term professional or personal goals are but I have not heard any thing but good things about her work. We all know she can damn sure sing. Who knows, perhaps Lil is looking to cut back on her road schedule. She’s in Prague as I write this.
