WrestleMania 38 Sign Catches FIRE During WWE Royal Rumble 2022
"So hot I set the WrestleMania sign on fire", proclaims Becky Lynch.
At last night's Royal Rumble PPV, the WrestleMania sign caught on fire not once, but twice during the show.
The first instance of this came prior to the Becky Lynch vs. Doudrop match, where Big Time Becks retained her Raw Women's Championship after hitting a second-rope Manhandle Slam to pick up the victory.

If that wasn't enough, the 'Mania sign would then again catch fire following Brock Lesnar's win in the men's Royal Rumble match. With Lesnar celebrating, it appears that the pyro used to mark the Beast Incarnate's victory caused the Rumble sign to spark up.

Never one to miss an opportunity, Becky Lynch was quick to poke fun at this situation by proclaiming how she was so hot that she set the WrestleMania sign on fire.

Thankfully, both of these situations played out without any injury or major disruption, with WWE temporarily evacuating fans who were directly in the vicinity of the 'Mania sign.
With fans moved out of the area, the sign was lowered down as crew attended to the issue with fire extinguishers. Once the fire was out, the sign was once more raised and fans were allowed to return to their seats.
