The wrestling world is holding its breath as news circulates that former WWE Diva, Melina, is reportedly missing in the wake of the devastating wildfires currently ravaging Los Angeles. The Cauliflower Alley Club, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting those in need within the wrestling industry, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their concern.
The caption reads, “URGENT: @RealMelina We’re deeply concerned as WWE Legend Melina has been unresponsive amidst the troubling events unfolding in Los Angeles. If anyone has seen or heard from her, please report her safe. Any information helps. Thank you. Please share.”
Despite multiple attempts, Melina Nava Perez, also known by her ring name Melina, is not reachable by phone amid the ongoing fires in Los Angeles. Menina, 45, was raised in the High Desert of California after being born in Los Angeles. The model-turned-wrestler made her WWE debut in 2004, forming the stylish ‘MNM’ trio alongside Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro (John Morrison). She most recently wrestled for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and made her final WWE appearance in 2022.
In the meantime, there have been 16 confirmed deaths as a result of the wildfire in Los Angeles. According to a statement released by the coroner’s office on Saturday night, the Palisades Fire was responsible for five of the fatalities, while the Eaton Fire was the cause of eleven.

While new evacuation warnings made more homeowners anxious, firefighters rushed to put out spreading wildfires before potentially strong winds returned and could push the flames toward the University of California, Los Angeles, and the world-famous J. Paul Getty Museum. Near the Pacific coast, in Mandeville Canyon, where Arnold Schwarzenegger and other celebrities lived, a fierce battle against the flames was in progress. As the fire raged downhill, swooping helicopters threw water onto the area.
