WWE fans are barking up the right tree! In a surprising twist, CM Punk’s beloved dog, Larry, has become a top-tier merchandise seller on WWE Shop, outperforming several current superstars and even some WWE legends. The adorable nine-inch Larry The Dog plush toy, priced at $39.99, has captured the hearts of fans, cementing Larry as an unlikely breakout star.
According to Wrestlevotes Radio, Larry’s merchandise has been flying off the shelves, outdrawing the sales of numerous WWE legends and active roster members. This impressive feat comes hot on the heels of WWE’s release of the CM Punk Larry The Dog plush, which joined an already popular line of Larry-themed items, including t-shirts.
“Some merchandising news. We are told WWE was absolutely thrilled with the initial run items of Larry, the dog. CM Punk’s dog so much so we are told to expect multiple new Larry items to be featured upon CM Punk return to TV. A source did say Larry the dog outrew several current superstars as well as WWE legends on WWE Shop over the course of his merchandising release. He did have a T-shirt. He did have, I believe a stuffed dog is either in the works or on the way.”
The product description for the plush highlights the special connection between Larry and Punk’s on-screen persona: “Your love for CM Punk knows no bounds, so pad your WWE collection with this Larry The Dog Toy Plush. You’re free to dress the faithful companion of the Second City Saint up as you’d like and let everyone know that he’s the best boy in the world!”
Larry’s popularity isn’t just limited to merchandise; he’s even made cameos in Punk’s on-screen storylines. Most notably, Larry’s name appeared on a friendship bracelet during Punk’s feud with Drew McIntyre, leading up to their Hell in a Cell match at WWE Bad Blood, where Punk emerged victorious.
The success of Larry-themed merchandise has spurred WWE to expand the line further. Fans can anticipate more Larry items to be released as Punk makes his return to WWE programming.
