New WWE Announcer DEbuts


Lauren Mayhew, a 24-year-old singer/actress, started with WWE Tuesday at the Smackdown TV tapings in Tulsa. She will be doing the Lilian Garcia role of singing the National Anthem and ring announcing. I didn't find this out until today but she had a meeting WWE people in Stamford, CT on 9/7 and they later decided to hire her. She has a musical background and has been involved in showbiz since the age of 8. As a teenager she signed with Sony Records forming part of the pop band PTY, who never made it big, but did tour and support the likes of Destiny's Child, 'N SYNC, and Britney Spears. She has cameos in episodes of CSI: Miami, Law & Order, Joan of Arcadia, Medical Investigation, and had a recurring role for one season of NBC's American Dreams. She is also part of the upcoming MTV series Private High Musical. It's expected she will remain on the Smackdown brand to work TVs. Not quite sure where this leaves Justin Roberts as we had been told Howard Finkel was handling Raw in the short term.
