Monday's WWE RAW featured the surprise return of legendary ring announcer Lilian Garcia. The singer has praised several stars and shared must-see photos from backstage. She also revealed the interesting details behind her return.

Garcia was signed to World Wrestling Entertainment from August 23, 1999 - September 21, 2009, and then from December 6, 2011 - August 1, 2016. She made several appearances in between. The 57-year-old made a surprise return at Monday's RAW in South Carolina. Garcia was introduced to a massive ovation by ring announcer Samantha Irvin, and was asked to do the honor of introducing Gunther vs. Kofi Kingston. Garcia accepted the offer, and praised Irvin for doing an excellent job.

The 25-year-veteran later revealed she originally stopped by RAW to visit, but ended up being on the show. Garcia made another post on her return today, and included backstage photos of several stars including Triple H, Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Michael Hayes, Pat McAfee, and John Cone, among others. She also included a video discussing the experience, and also thanked the Chief Content Officer for supporting the female broadcast team.

"Oh, what a night! What started out as me just driving to Greenville, SC from Columbia to say hi to my @wwe family, ended up with me on the show co-announcing with Samantha Irvin. [face with hand over mouth emoji] That was awesome. Getting to see all my colleagues again and then reconnecting with all of you was so special! And the reception you gave me was so touching!!! [loudly crying face emoji] Thank you Triple H for including me, and for the support you are giving the amazing female broadcast team - Samantha, Alicia Taylor, Kayla Braxton, Cathy Kelley, Kelly Kincaid, Jackie Redmond, Sarah Schreiber and Megan Morant - you ladies are all killing it!!
