Sami Zayn needed 15 staples after getting busted open at WWE house show
Sami Zayn required 15 staples after getting busted open during WWE’s holiday week house show tour.
Zayn faced Finn Balor in a Last Man Standing match at WWE’s live event in Toronto on December 29. There was a spot at the end of the match where Zayn put Balor through a table. But when Zayn threw Balor into the table, part of the table hit Zayn and cut his head open.
Zayn won the match after the table spot. It was announced on Raw last night that Zayn needed to get 15 staples after the match to close his head wound.

Zayn wasn’t on Raw last night and didn’t wrestle at WWE’s house show in Los Angeles on December 30.
Before returning on the Holiday Tour, Zayn had been off WWE events since the December 4 episode of Raw. His absence came after Zayn requested time off and was granted it by WWE.
The December 4 Raw episode included an angle where Zayn was laid out by Drew McIntyre. Last night, McIntyre reacted to the news of Zayn needing 15 staples by shrugging it off and saying that Zayn brought it on himself.
Seth Rollins retained the World Heavyweight Championship against McIntyre in last night’s main event.
