A bigger co-incidence happened during the ending segment of Wrestlemania 33. The Undertaker was closing the show in his trademark hand-raised pose with the firework going on around the ramp, all over.
Unfortunately, the pyro went wrong at the very end and caused an explosion on the ramp. A small fire broke out and reached to the stage area, quickly.
However, a fire-worker took control of it with the fire extinguisher in hand before it became too serious. In the meantime, there were smokes all over the place creating chaos among the present audience.

It is still not noted whether someone was injured during this mishap or not. Earlier in 2008, several people were injured at the same event, here.
It was at the same venue, nine years ago when a same kind of explosion broke out during Undertaker’s pyro at Wrestlemania 24. At that year, Undertaker faced Edge to walk out of the Citrus Bowl as the World Heavyweight Champion.

This year, though it was heartbreaking to see the Phenom was on his very last ride against Roman Reigns. The entire pro-wrestling fraternity alongside the sports fans from the mainstream world has expressed their gratitude to the Deadman’s retirement.

After the show went off the air. Undertaker’s hat and gloves lied on this ring for more than half an hour. No production member was instructed to remove it from there to let the presence of Deadman felt around the arena.
Take a look at the pictures posted by the fans to learn how the crew members were paying tribute to the greatest performer ever in the history of the company.
