WWE's Heath Slater Suffers Serious Injury Over The Weekend
The Social Outcast required 18 stitches.
Social Outcast member Heath Slater suffered a nasty injury during Saturday night's WWE house show in Bangor, Maine.
During his match with Titus O'Neil, Slater suffered a laceration over his right eye which eventually caused the match-up to be stopped. O'Neil was subsequently declared the winner. WWE physician Dr. Stephen Daquino treated Slater in the ring immediately.
Daquino told WWE.com "Heath has a six centimeter laceration above his right eye. It was quite open, right down to the bone. He got 18 sutures and hopefully that will close it up."

It will be interesting to see how WWE handles Slater's group, The Social Outcasts, during Tuesday's WWE draft. WWE recently announced the rules for the draft, and the rules state that a tag team (and were assuming a stable too) can be selected as one choice unless the Commissioner or GM wants to split the team.
Will a stable like The Social Outcasts be considered one pick, or will WWE split them in yet another attempt to repackage its members?
