A touching tribute: CM Punk honors his late dog, Larry, with a new chest tattoo. This heartfelt gesture showcases the deep bond between a person and their pet, a connection many of us understand. The World Heavyweight Champion unveiled the tattoo, featuring Larry's paw prints, at a live event in Glasgow, Scotland. This follows the passing of his beloved dog in early December 2025, a difficult time for the star.
CM Punk adopted Larry, a rescue dog, from PAWS Chicago in February 2015. Larry became a familiar face on television and social media throughout CM Punk's career. In fact, their bond even played a role in a past rivalry, with Drew McIntyre targeting the relationship between CM Punk and his pet during their 2024 feud. This isn't the first time CM Punk has memorialized his pets with ink; he previously got a paw print tattoo on his left forearm for his dog, Callee.
But here's where it gets interesting...
Beyond the emotional tribute, CM Punk has also been sharing lighter moments from his professional life. In a recent interview, he humorously discussed wearing double t-shirts to get a reaction from his opponent, Bronson Reed. This playful move came before their match at the OVO Hydro on January 10, where they battled for the top title on the Raw brand.
And this is the part most people miss...
The Glasgow event also marked a homecoming for the new Undisputed WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre. Born in nearby Ayr, McIntyre made his first live appearance since winning the title from Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell match in Berlin. He successfully defended his title against Shinsuke Nakamura during the event.
