WWE Ring Announcer Lilian Garcia knows a thing or two about slipping and tripping on the way to the ring. It happened to her twice in less than a month. In March 2012, Garcia tripped on her shoe during her entrance on SmackDown. Garcia's shoe strap broke, but she managed to save herself from falling. She kept going and walked to the ring barefoot.
Nearly two weeks later, the legendary WWE Ring Announcer suffered another mishap. Garcia tripped and fell to her knees during her entrance on Smackdown's taping in London. She broke out in laughter and jumped back up to continue on her way to the ring.

Lilian Garcia opened up about her unfortunate accidents in an interview with Naluda:
"Within 2 weeks of each other, during my entrance to the ring, one week my shoe strap broke where I had to take off my shoes and go barefoot to the ring, and the next one in London, I tripped over the pyro cannons that were not supposed to be there. Scary then, but sure is funny now!!"
