If you don't know or remember Sim Snuka, he's the son of the late WWE legend Jimmy Snuka. He had a run in WWE in the early 2000s as part of the Deuce and Domino tag-team. His run in WWE was brief despite winning the tag-team titles once.

Snuka was later working as a stunt cameraman at WrestleMania 25 during Michaels vs Undertaker. Snuka was supposed to catch The Undertaker during his infamous dive over the top ropes but was totally out of position, leading Taker to almost spike himself on the landing.

According to reports at the time, The Undertaker was not happy after the match and this incident led Snuka to get fired.

Believe it or not, The Undertaker and AJ Styles are close friends now and have actually known each other for a while. Styles had the following to say about The Undertaker during an interview with Inside The Ropes after WrestleMania 33:

"I can tell you I was emotional because he's my friend. He and I have got a relationship between both of us have the same friend that we're very close to, so he and I developed this relationship without even knowing each other that well. But it was heartbreaking a little bit because this is the guy that's been here for so long and has shaped the WWE into what it is now."
