WWE Superstar CM Punk recently took to social media to send a wholesome message after posting a photo with a former AEW star and the Stamford-based promotion's latest signing. The names in question are wrestling legend Mark Henry and his son, Jacob.

After making a huge name in the pro wrestling world by winning several titles in WWE, Mark Henry retired from in-ring competition, making his last appearance for the Stamford-based promotion in 2021. After leaving the company, The World's Strongest Man joined AEW, where he performed commentary duties on Rampage and was also a coach. However, he left the Tony Khan-led promotion in May 2024.

During this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, the WWE Hall of Famer made a surprise appearance after three years with his son, Jacob Henry, who was recently signed by the Triple H-led promotion. Jacob's signing was confirmed in an interview, and later on, he even posted a photo alongside The Game.

Following the show, CM Punk took to his Instagram stories to upload a backstage photo with the father-son duo. The Second City Saint sent a heartwarming message, calling them his family.

"Family @themarkhenry @jacobthenry," he wrote.

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre's feud continued on WWE RAW

During this week's WWE RAW, Randy Orton and Gunther cut a promo in which the latter took things too far by verbally attacking The Viper's family. Following this, Drew McIntyre surprisingly showed up. However, before Drew could say anything, CM Punk came out of nowhere to attack The Scottish Warrior.

The 39-year-old then pushed The Second City Saint and tried to hit the latter with his belt. However, Punk snatched it from McIntyre's hands and continuously attacked his bitter rival with the belt until the former World Heavyweight Champion escaped backstage.

Following the attack, CM Punk revealed in a backstage segment that he would continue to go after Drew McIntyre as long as the latter had his bracelet, which had his wife and his dog's names on it.

It will be interesting to see how The Scottish Psychopath responds in the coming weeks.
