-- For those wondering about the status of Lilian Garcia with WWE, pwinsiderelite.com reports that it is expected that Garcia will have an "extended run" as the WWE Raw ring announcer, but isn't necessarily the permanent replacement for Samantha Irvin, who resigned yesterday. A decision on that front will be made later.
