CM Punk and AJ Lee both returned to the Stamford-based promotion nearly a decade after leaving, but the couple suffered a heartbreaking loss in 2025 when Larry passed away. Recently, Punk and Lee addressed the untimely passing of their beloved dog on WWE: Unreal.

In 2015, CM Punk and AJ Lee adopted Larry from PAWS Chicago. While both were away from the industry at the time, Larry became part of their family and eventually became well-known in the world of wrestling as The Second City Saint and The Geek Goddess' pet.

In December 2025, CM Punk announced that Larry had passed away. Regardless, The Straight Edge Superstar continued his journey on the red brand as the World Heavyweight Champion. Recently, Unreal's third season dropped on Netflix, and Punk and Lee opened up on losing Larry.

The Geek Goddess added that she and Larry were each other's emotional support for years before Larry's untimely passing.

Earlier this year, AJ Lee lost the Women's Intercontinental Championship to Becky Lynch in Nevada at WrestleMania 42 and hasn't competed for the promotion since. Recently, she appeared at Fanatics Fest and was a guest on The Nikki & Brie Show alongside Paige.

While it doesn't seem like Lee will compete at SummerSlam, CM Punk also appeared at the event and had an intense moment with Cody Rhodes at the SummerSlam Kickoff show ahead of their upcoming match for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
