Speaking with TVInsider in a recent interview, Garcia announced her presence and duties for Cena's retirement bout. "I cannot wait," she said. "When I found out his final match was going to be during Saturday Night's Main Event, I was like, 'That's the show I announce!' It's actually kind of fitting because I announced him even before he was John Cena."
Further in the interview, Garcia looked back on his decades-long career and past.
"He was 'The Prototype.' It was a live event. I'll never forget it. I hadn't seen him backstage yet. The crew explained to me that he is the new guy and gave me all his stats. I just remember as soon as I said, 'The Prototype,' and he came through the curtain, I was like, 'Wow, that's a look.' He came off special right from the beginning.
"Watching his whole journey, being a part of it, being able to call so many of his matches along the years," Garcia added. "It has been incredible. From SummerSlam to WrestleMania, and now the pinnacle of it to be here, his final match. It's absolutely incredible. And the fact I'm back in WWE, it's just so awesome."
