Orlando, April 4: A major mishap was avoided by the WWE crews during the end of Wrestlemania.
The grandest show of the year came to an end with everybody reaching out for the tissues with The Undertaker's last ride. The unwanted thing happen just at that moment when Taker was being given ovation from the crowd.

Apparently, a fire broke out on the ramp and spread towards the ringside, much quickly.
However, WWE backstage production worked effortlessly to take control of it within minutes. They put out the fire with fire extinguisher avoiding bigger accidents.

It might be a co-incident but nine years ago at the same event of Wrestlemania, another fire broke out.
In case you don't know, it too happened at the Citrus Bowl during pyro going terribly wrong. That year, Undertaker walked out of the venue as the World Heavyweight Champion.

Unlikely to that year, no people getting injured was not noted on this past Sunday night.
The crowd was still mourning from the heart-breaking incident that they witnessed after Undertaker left off his iconic gloves and hat giving hint to his retirement.

To pay tribute to the greatest performer in the history of the WWE, WWE crews even did not remove the hat and gloves from the ring.
Even after 30 minutes of the show getting over, the ring gears kept in the place where the Deadman had placed it.
