The WrestleMania 33 set was a visual spectacle as WWE spared no expense in having it represent that year's theme, "The Ultimate Thrill Ride." The set resembled a rollercoaster, and the entrance ramp extended to 80 yards.

The show had 13 matches on the card, including the pre-show, and the main event saw Roman Reigns looking to become the only second person to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Roman Reigns came out to the ring first, and rightly so, as The Deadman could take his time doing his slow entrance down that extra-long entrance ramp.

The match lasted for 23 minutes, and in the end, Roman Reigns emerged victorious. Almost everyone thought it was The Undertaker's last match as he left his gloves, hat, and coat in the middle of the ring. As The Deadman made his exit, WWE set off some pyro to give him a proper send-off, but the display resulted in a part of the set catching on fire.

Fans filmed the incident on their phones and posted it on social media, but the stadium workers were quick enough to extinguish the fire before it could spread out even further.
