Former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia recently took part in a Q&A with Sporting News. Garcia was asked about All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and if it can be competition with WWE, as well as WWE going to Saudi Arabia and women competing in the country.
Here are the highlights:
AEW and if it’s competition for WWE: “Look, I think any time you have competition, it’s good for everybody,” Garcia said. “Look at what it did for WCW and WWE. Competition brings more attention, it makes people even better and work even harder all the way around – from the Superstars to the writers to everybody. Competition is good in life. And I think it’s great because it gives a platform for more Superstars to even work. I’m all for competition and Vince McMahon himself has said he’s always up for competition, so no one is complaining.”
WWE going to Saudi Arabia and if she has spoken to friends in WWE about it: “I didn’t. Things take time and it’s pretty spectacular that Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss got to go to Abu Dhabi and there was a whole chant of “This is hope.” That’s a start, so hopefully soon, we’ll see that. Look how long it took for women to main-event WrestleMania and that was a big step in the right direction. It’s going to take time with Saudi Arabia, but hopefully every year, we can get closer and closer,” she said.
