WWE has attached a pyro to the sign to make this pointing attractive and dramatic at the same time. However, it looks like the sign caught fire because of it.

The fire must have caught on when Ronda Rousey won the Women’s Royal Rumble match.

Eventually, the WWE management was quick on their feet, as the sign was soon fixed to avoid more serious damage to the arena or the people in it.
