Lilian Garcia Shares How Infestation Almost Ended Her Announcing Career

Lilian Garcia has made her triumphant return to WWE programming, but only after overcoming a career-threatening health ordeal. On Instagram, Garcia opened up about her struggle with severe breathing problems caused by mold infestations in three different homes.

“It caused severe inflammation in my lungs. That inflammation was so severe that it wreaked havoc on my vocal cords and projection,” Garcia shared.

The situation worsened due to a gas leak, ultimately forcing Garcia to step away from her role as an announcer for the Professional Fighters League. Thankfully, after a challenging recovery process, Garcia expressed gratitude to her doctors, medical staff, and the power of prayer for helping her heal.
