CM Punk misses Larry very much.
The WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke to Gaming Bible to promote WWE 2K26. Among other things, he talked about Larry being included in the game as a manager and what it means to him.
The Straight Edge star noted that Larry's passing is still pretty fresh in his mind. CM Punk explained that the inclusion means the world to him because he remembers his dog every day:
“It means a lot. I’ve cried once a day since Thanksgiving, you know, so it’s still pretty fresh, and it’s still pretty raw. I don’t know if it’s ever gonna go away, but looking at pictures of him always makes me smile. Being able to share that joy with the world, it means a lot, you know.”
CM Punk had adopted Larry from PAW’s in Chicago after quitting WWE in 2014. The rescue dog became a beloved wrestling figure once Punk started bringing him to shows following his return to the business in 2021. Larry, unfortunately, passed away in December last year.
The former AEW star also talked about fans paying tribute to Larry with social media messages and signs at shows, saying that it's cool to see that other people loved his dog too:
“I see constant signs in the crowd and people’s messages, specifically about Larry. It’s great, you know, fans are always drawing him and making bracelets with his name on them and gestures like that. I love that little dude, and it’s cool to see that a lot of other people did too.”
Punk's wife, AJ Lee had recently discussed what Larry meant to her and how she feels about fan tributes. You can check out what she said here.
