CM Punk Gifts Creator of Infamous Friendship Bracelet a Heartfelt Replacement at WWE Bad Blood

The heated rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has captivated fans for months, with one sentimental item at the center of their feud: a friendship bracelet bearing the names of Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, and his beloved dog, Larry. This bracelet became a powerful symbol in their storyline and was destroyed by McIntyre during RAW on September 9th, 2024, intensifying the emotional weight of their feud.

Recognizing the significance of the bracelet to the WWE Universe, WWE quickly capitalized on its emotional connection by listing a replica of CM Punk’s bracelet for sale on WWEShop.com. The description encouraged fans to carry a reminder of their loved ones, much like Punk does, with their very own friendship bracelet.

“CM Punk keeps a reminder of his love for his wife and furry, four-legged family member, Larry, in the form of a Friendship Bracelet. Take a trinket that reminds you of your loved ones wherever you go like The Second City Saint does by making this CM Punk Friendship Bracelet yours,” read the WWEShop listing.

However, the story doesn’t end there. The original bracelet, which became an important artifact in Punk’s feud with McIntyre, was created by a fan named Victoria. She reacted to WWE’s decision to sell replicas of her creation with surprise, tweeting, “A heads up would have been nice lol.”

In a heartwarming twist, CM Punk decided to give back to Victoria for her creation. Ahead of WWE Bad Blood, Punk shared on Instagram that he was working on a new bracelet. It was later revealed that the bracelet he crafted was for Victoria herself, as a gesture of appreciation.

Victoria attended Bad Blood in Atlanta, where she met Punk in person. To her surprise, Punk gifted her the bracelet he made, making it a full-circle moment for the fan who had contributed to one of the most significant props in Punk’s WWE storyline. The heartwarming exchange was captured in a photo shared by Victoria, showing her proudly wearing the new bracelet.

While CM Punk’s bracelet may have been destroyed in the storyline, this touching moment between Punk and the fan who created it shows just how impactful wrestling can be both in and out of the ring. As Punk’s bracelet continues to be a symbol of loyalty and love in his rivalry with Drew McIntyre, it also serves as a reminder of the deep connection between wrestlers and their fans.
