Matanza Cueto Sliced Vein During Match, Multiple Stitches Required

Matanza Cueto required multiple stitches following his match Saturday night in Boyle Heights … and it’s all because he sliced a vein while punching a window.

Sources in attendance at the Lucha Underground taping report that Jeff Cobb — the man behind the Matanza mask — punched a window during a hardcore match and began to bleed heavily.

The match was cut short after his injury quickly became apparent and Cobb was taken to a nearby hospital for stitches. Rey Mysterio and Dragon Azteca filled the extra time by running to the ring and beating up PJ Black and Johnny Mundo while backstage officials handled the situation.

Sources report that  Matanza can’t get back in the ring until the stitches come out and he’s been forced to cancel bookings next week. However, he should be good to go by the next LU taping.
