A WWE name has announced that they will no longer be appearing at tonight’s Evolution event, with their replacement being revealed.

Earlier this week, Lilian Garcia announced that she was going to be returning to WWE television this weekend, with her set to do the ring announcing for both Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution in Atlanta.

Lilian was on the call for last night’s Saturday Night’s Main Event show, but she has now revealed that she won’t be able to make tonight’s Evolution event due to lingering effects of a respiratory infection taking her voice.

Instead, Alicia Taylor will be the ring announcer for Evolution.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote:

Life can definitely throw some unexpected twists and turns and unfortunately I’m at the receiving end of one of them.

I was so excited to be announcing @wwe Saturday Nights Main Event and @wwe Evolution this weekend but because of lingering effects of a respiratory infection I got some weeks ago, I was only able to announce SNME last night before my voice started wigging out. 🥴

Grateful to my announce sista @aliciataylorwwe for stepping up to announce Evolution tonight and so excited to celebrate all the women involved, as all the women that have paved the way to this moment!

Biggest lesson I can share from this is that it’s ok to be disappointed (which I definitely am because I so badly wanted to announce these women to their respective matches) but also important to listen to your body and not push beyond its limits. For now, time to stay quiet and heal up for the next event! 😉

Love you guys and best of luck to all you ladies tonight!! Go crush it!!! 💪🏼🔥.
