CM Punk's Dog Larry Injured In AEW Backstage Fight?
A new report states CM Punk's dog Larry had teeth removed after getting caught up at All Out.
CM Punk's beloved dog Larry was unfortunately caught up in the brawl between Punk, Ace Steel, and The Elite at All Out 2022.
Wrestling Inc.'s Nick Hausman reports that when Punk's locker room door was "kicked in" following the incendiary post-PPV press scrum, it hit Larry, who was struck in the face. This was an accident, though it was determined following a pre-scheduled vet's appointment that Larry would need to have two of his teeth removed after they'd been knocked loose.
While accounts of what happened when Punk, Steel, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks clashed vary, Steel's wife, Lucy Guy, was understood to have been in the locker room looking after Larry at the time. She had not been interviewed as part of the investigation into the fight at the time of writing.
Elsewhere in the report, Hausman notes that Punk had been asked to stay quiet following the fight, having not considered the situation a big deal until Kenny and The Bucks entered his locker room and Larry got hit by the door. The now-former AEW World Champion felt threatened by the situation. He reacted legally, doing so under Illinois' Castle Doctrine laws, and there is no pending litigation against him.
Punk is believed to have thrown at least one punch at Nick Jackson during the melee.
It was reported last week that CM Punk and AEW were negotiating a buy-out of the remaining years on the 44-year-old's contract, with a non-compete period the apparent sticking point. Whether or not this situation has been resolved yet is currently unclear.
