Lilian Garcia Announces Engagement, Confirms SNME Role for John Cena’s Final Match
WWE’s beloved ring announcer Lilian Garcia kicked off Monday morning with a heartfelt announcement that’s capturing the attention of the wrestling world.
During a live Instagram session, the longtime WWE personality revealed that she is officially engaged. While Garcia chose to keep her fiancé’s identity private, she shared that he’s a former wrestler who “understands the business,” which made their connection feel natural and grounded.
Garcia explained that there’s no wedding date set just yet, emphasizing that both she and her partner are simply enjoying the engagement phase for now. “He gets it — the schedule, the passion, the grind,” Garcia said, smiling as she talked about finding someone who truly understands the wrestling lifestyle.
A Journey of Healing and Renewal
Before finding love again, Lilian spent four years single following her divorce from ex-husband Christopher Jozeph. She described that period as one of healing and self-discovery, sharing that it helped her rediscover her worth and clarify what she really wanted in a partner.
That time clearly paid off — and now Garcia seems genuinely happy and at peace. Fans flooded her comments with congratulations, celebrating one of WWE’s most enduring and respected voices finally finding her match.
Lilian’s WWE Legacy Continues
Garcia’s connection with WWE spans more than two decades, dating back to the late 1990s, where she became the voice behind some of the most emotional moments in WWE history. She’s currently in her third stint with the company, working a part-time schedule ring announcing for Saturday Night’s Main Event and other select shows.
Earlier this year, Garcia signed a new two-year contract with WWE — a move that ensures her voice will continue echoing through arenas around the world. Outside of the ring, she channels her musical background as a worship leader at her local church, blending her passions for performance and spirituality.
Cena’s Final Match — and a Full Circle Moment
Garcia also confirmed during her Q&A that she’s likely to be the official ring announcer for John Cena’s last match, set for December 13 on Saturday Night’s Main Event. For Lilian, it’s more than just another assignment — it’s a full-circle moment.
“I remember announcing him as The Prototype at a live event before his WWE TV debut,” Garcia recalled. “To now be the one to introduce him for his final match — that would be an absolute honor.”
Cena’s opponent will be determined through a tournament kicking off November 10, adding even more excitement to what promises to be a historic night.
