Drew McIntyre says Triple H shaped his famous promo line
Drew McIntyre delivered the memorable line "I prayed for this, and it happened" after CM Punk sustained a triceps injury during the 2024 men's Royal Rumble match. The phrase quickly gained popularity and evolved into a widespread meme that others adopted when their own wishes came true.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, McIntyre disclosed that the statement represented the PG-appropriate version of his original promo. He credited Triple H with creating the specific wording used on air.
McIntyre has not appeared on WWE television since WrestleMania 42.
