Gall took to Instagram to show everybody just how bad it was:

 

#SecretTime ! I got this cut 3 WEEKS BEFORE fighting CM Punk... Accidental head butt in practice, 21 STITCHES... Doc said I can't fight for 6 MONTHS (yeah right). He said if eye gets TOUCHED within 6 months it'll reopen. So I keep it a SECRET. I end up fighting TWICE in 4 MONTHS. Get GRAZED in second fight. 8 MORE stitches. 2 superstars whooped, 1 born... Worth it
