Back at WrestleMania XXV, The Undertaker almost brained himself when he landed headfirst at ringside. The planted cameraman failed to catch the legend, and it almost resulted in a broken neck (or worse). Leave it to Roman Reigns, 'cause he did some danger diving of this own and mimicked his partner this Sunday.

On this week's show, Roman echoed those dangerous 'Deadman' dives of yesteryear by overshooting it when he leapt onto Elias and McIntyre. Check the above .GIF for a back-to-back look at the similarities between Reigns' move and 'Taker's at 'Mania XXV.

Both pretty much missed their landing pad.
