Ring announcements of winners and superstars entering the arena will sound different now that long-time WWE announcer Lilian Garcia is leaving the company after 15 years.
In a long post on Instagram, Garcia announced her exit from WWE and revealed that she will be saying goodbye to take care of her ailing father.
Garcia will no longer travel with WWE and will be taking on a job in a location closer to their home so she can better take care of cancer-ridden father, who she said "hasn't been doing as well as we hoped."
This is also why she has not been appearing in WWE in the recent episodes, which already had fans worrying about her status with WWE.
After breaking the news, Garcia expressed gratitude to fans, superstars and everyone who made her decade and a half-long journey with WWE worthwhile.
"It has been a magical 15-year career at WWE, and WWE Universe, I can't thank you enough for all your love and support! I felt you every step of the way!" Garcia wrote.
"I also want to thank the amazing WWE Superstars, whom many of them have become my friends! You are an incredible group of people with SO much talent! It has been such an honor to introduce you to the ring and watch your superior athleticism week after week," she went on to say.
Garcia also took time to thank the folks behind the camera, "on the road and in the offices." I've seen you work so hard! You really are the glue that keeps it all together!"
