Update On Batista's WWE Hall Of Fame Status

It’s a delayed honor. There are very few honors in the WWE world as important as an induction into the company’s Hall of Fame. While there have been a lot of different names inducted over the year, there are very few major names in the company’s history that are not inducted. The induction ceremony can be quite the moment, and now we might have an idea when an overdue entry will take place.

Former WWE star Batista was announced as part of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2020. However, the induction ceremony was postponed until 2021 due the Coronavirus pandemic. Batista was unable to attend the ceremony due to a scheduling conflict. WWE removed him from the class as per his request, leaving him to be inducted later. According to PWInsider.com, Batista will be in attendance in Dallas this year for Undertaker’s induction but is not expected to be inducted until 2023 in Los Angeles over WrestleMania 39 weekend.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that makes sense and I could see WWE’s logic behind the whole thing. The point of the Hall of Fame is to honor the entrants and that is not going to happen if the entrants are not all there. It would be nice to have Batista there in person as he would be one of the headliners of the class, so moving things around makes sense. If nothing else, tie it into the Los Angeles/Hollywood theme next year so things are as appropriate as possible.

What do you think of Batista? Who else should be inducted? Let us know in the comments below.
