At this year’s WWE WrestleMania 33, Undertaker’s exit literally went up in flames on Sunday night.
His iconic music played and the lights went dark, as he made his way up the ramp until he raised his hands, which prompted an explosion of pyrotechnics.
As his pyrotechnics went off during his exit, which followed his loss to Roman Reigns, the stage briefly caught fire before it was extinguished by stadium workers. There were no injuries reported.

This moment was similar to Undertaker’s pyrotechnics mishap that injured multiple people at the same venue for WrestleMania 24.
A cable snapped causing a shower of fire to fall into the crowd which reportedly injured 30 to 35 people and led to multiple hospitalizations.
There is no word thus far on what specifically caused the fire this time or how it can be prevented in the future.
