Did Rihanna Rip-Off Her Album Cover From ECW?

Paul Heyman has recently commented on Rihanna's new album cover on the website of The Sun:

"The entertainment community is abuzz about Rihanna's new album cover , where the once-but-never-again-almost- Mrs.-Chris-Brown is wrapped up in barbed wire, with her right arm in the air, and blood dripping on the cover design.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......... is this familiar to anyone?

...[H]ere's Rihanna's album cover today, and here's The Sandman on the cover of the ECW album in 1998. Hardcore thievery? Dangerously Inspired? 'Extreme' Coincidence?"
