After Ronda Rousey officially won the Women’s WWE Royal Rumble match, wrestling fans were evacuated when the WrestleMania sign reportedly caught on fire.
According to The Sun, those attending WrestleMania began to notice the sign being “slightly on fire” following Ronda Rousey’s big win. The sign appeared to start melting and it was lowered as it caught on fire.
Wrestling commenter Bryan Alvarez tweeted an update about the situation. “A Section had to be evacuated after pyro set the WrestleMania sign on fire.”
Despite the chaos caused by the WrestleMania sign incident, wrestlers continued in the ring. Irish wrestler, Becky Lynch, shared a snapshot of herself on Twitter and wrote, “So hot I set the WrestleMania sign on fire.”
However, some fans were not able to see the matches because Wrestlemania workers extinguished the blaze after lowering the sign. It blocked the fans from seeing the ring.
The Sun also stated that no one was reportedly hurt during the incident.
