More than a week on from Brock Lesnar’s major WWE return, some are still feeling the force.The Beast ended a two-year absence from the wrestling ring with an epic comeback at SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium.Brock Lesnar made an epic entrance at the end of SummerSlamWWEThe multi-time former world champion confronted John Cena in the main event of the show’s second night, fresh from Cena’s world title defeat to Cody Rhodes.Lesnar left his former foe laying in the ring with a hard-hitting F5 and left social media ablaze with talk about his arrival – and the controversial absence that came before it.In the days after the event, however, something else emerged that only a few eagle-eyed fans had spotted on the night itself – a bizarre mishap involving Lesnar’s epic entrance fireworks.Lesnar’s comeback takes centre stage at SummerSlamAfter his trademark entrance music hit, fireworks exploded from the top of the giant staging structure, some sparks appearing to fly disastrously off course and into a crowd of thousands of fans stood far below.One video filmed at the scene showed one fan’s shirt had made a lucky escape – the errant firework had brushed his clothing and left a mark, the margin to what could have been more serious clearly very thin.One viewer joked in response: “I actually saw that low pyro live during the entrance and thought to myself: ‘Where [is] that thing going and how do you clear something like [that]?”“Ok so I wasn’t the only one who saw it that night?” quizzed another. “You could see it on the TV feed.”Plenty had seen it, and even more have since – just one version of the video has racked up more than 1m views on X alone.The end result appears to have been that little harm was done: the talk post SummerSlam remains locked on Lesnar, Cena and the backstage turmoil that’s said to be dominating the latter’s retirement run.The SummerSlam spark shock isn’t the only time WWE’s elaborate pyro has caused mayhem, however – back in 2010 at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, the consequences were far, far greater.NetflixLesnar’s entrance appeared to show one firework veer off track and head towards the crowd[/caption]Fan footage from the crowd spotted the moment of an apparent near missXAs he strode on to the stage in his slow, steady stride for which he was synonymous throughout his 30-year career, disaster struck.Grappling icon The Undertaker was left with second degree burns and his skin ‘bubbling’ after being engulfed by a fireball as part of his entrance – one he wasn’t expecting.“All I could smell was my burnt hair and flesh,” the Deadman later said.“Every time I look down, my skin is bubbling up more and more. I’m trying my hardest to stay focused and I’m also thinking in my head, ‘I am about to kill this pyro guy.'”Indeed, the legend kept his cool in the ring but was rightly angry once he made it backstage and was in the company of boss Vince McMahon – the incident so serious that it’s scenes have been edited from sight in the version of the show now airing on Netflix.Chris Jericho, who went on to win the match in question, penned in his autobiography that Undertaker told McMahon: “I don’t want him to apologize, Vince. I don’t want any excuses. I just never want to see him again. Because if I do, I’ll kill him.”Undertaker was completely covered by flames for a brief second at 2010’s Elimination ChamberIncredibly. Undertaker continued the title match to its conclusionWWEJericho went on: “I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was completely serious and Vince felt the same way, because that was the last time we ever saw the Pyro Guy.“He was fired (pun intended) on the spot and escorted out of the building immediately.”The Canadian added that Undertaker spent days in a St. Louis burn unit and later told him that the only things preventing permanent injury or worse were “the big-brimmed hat he wore to the ring, which covered his hair and half his face; the fact that he’d wet his hair before he went through the curtain; and the long leather overcoat.”Jericho wrote that seeing the damaged coat up close showed “how much it had shielded him from the flames,” with the leather “bubbled up and split from the lining in places, as if it had been put in an industrial paper shredder.”That The Undertaker managed to escape catastrophic injury only seemingly by chance is a twist of fate that only seems at home in the wild world that is WWE.One pyro technician paid the price for the 2010 disaster with his job, Jericho claimed, and fans at MetLife Stadium might at least breathe a sigh of relief that the stray firework of 2025 was nowhere near as disastrous.Lesnar’s return caused all sorts of chaos, but Undertaker played his 2010 incident unnervingly coollyWWE/YouTubeUndertaker’s coat arguably saved him from disaster in 2010 before one fan’s brush with pyro in 2025XIt pays to keep your wits about you at a wrestling show – you never quite know what (or who) might light up the night.
