Drew McIntyre is taking some time off after his grueling Hell in a Cell showdown with CM Punk at WWE Bad Blood.

The match, praised by fans for its intensity, left both superstars with some battle scars -- but it turns out McIntyre's injury was no small one. According to Fightful Select, sources close to the situation revealed that during the match, McIntyre sustained a serious laceration, requiring a dozen staples to close up the wound. While CM Punk's break from the ring was planned, McIntyre's time off was both injury-related and personal.

In addition to letting his body heal, McIntyre is overseas visiting family. The WWE star has recently shared that he's been dealing with "personal losses," prompting him to step away for a while. While it's unclear exactly when McIntyre will make his comeback, this time with family could be the mental and physical break he needs after years of intense matches.

McIntyre's resilience in the ring is unmatched, and his loyal fans are ready to welcome him back when the time is right.
