Lilian Garcia was given the night off from last nights RAW in Nashville as it would have been much too difficult for her to make it to the show on time due to SmackDown’s tour of South America. She will be back for next week’s show in Boston. SmackDown held shows in Mexico, Peru, and Chile over the weekend. Last night’s show was held all the way in Santiago, Chile, so WWE went out of their way to have Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov work early on the show so they could catch an early flight to Nashville for RAW. On the other hand, Lilian had to stay the entire show to ring announce, so she was unable to make it to RAW on time. Lilian was brought on tour to handle the ring announcing as she is bilingual and speaks fluent Spanish, which is quite beneficial for the live audience.

For those who don’t want to sort through WWE’s financial report, here are the latest WWE PPV numbers.

* No Mercy (2008) – 261,000 buys [Down from 271,000 buys in 2007]
