At least 10 people have died, and more than 160,000 people have been evacuated. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fires.AEW’s Anthony Bowens missed Saturday’s Collision as a result of the disaster. Bowens said on X, “Hey everyone, I unfortunately won’t be making it to Collision today. The #PalisadesFire started moving towards my home last night and as a precaution Michael and I had to pack up and leave the area. We are safe and so is the neighborhood as of now. Hopefully it stays that way. Shout out to the LAFD for working so hard to try and slow the spread of this fire down.”Perez, who performed as Melina in WWE, was a two-time Divas Champion and three-time Women’s Champion while working for the company from 2004-2011.
