WWE Hall of Famer Lilian Garcia is currently backstage at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, site of tonight’s WWE Raw. Her presence is especially interesting in the wake of Samantha Irvine’s bombshell announcement that she’s leaving WWE. We’ll find out in a matter of hours if Garcia’s visit is just a social visit, or if she’ll be filling in for Irvine.



Irvine’s exit is understandably the hot topic of conversation this afternoon. Sources at Raw indicate that virtually everyone was caught off-guard by the news, and emphasized how universally well-liked she is.

In addition to Lilian Garcia, there are several wrestlers from the SmackDown brand at the arena. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is on hand, as areBloodline leader Solo Sikoa, Women’s World Champion Nia Jax and Bayley.

Tonight’s WWE Raw will feature Bron Breakker challenging Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship, WWE Tag Title #1 Contender tournament matches and more.
