ABOUT LILIAN GARCIA

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for close to two decades, you’re familiar with Lilian. The singer/songwriter made her WWE debut on the August 23, 1999.

García sang in the WWF for the first time on February 14, 2000, at a house show, and began singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at television tapings later that month.

Her first televised performance was on April 2, 2000, where she opened WrestleMania 2000. Following the September 11 attacks, Garcia sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the September 13, 2001, episode of SmackDown!, receiving a standing ovation.

In mid-2002, García briefly feuded with rival announcer Howard Finkel after Finkel left her to be decimated by 3-Minute Warning, culminating in an "evening gown versus tuxedo match" that Garcia won with the assistance of Stacy Keibler and Trish Stratus.

During the last week of August 2009, Garcia celebrated ten years with WWE, becoming the organization's first and only "Decade Diva".

On August 1, 2016, Garcia announced her departure from WWE due to wanting to care for her ailing father, who was battling two different unidentified types of cancer. She made a one-night return on December 14, 2016, at WWE Tribute to the Troops where she sang the American national anthem. On December 26, Garcia announced that her father had died on Christmas Day.
