Several dirt sheets have reported that Batista might headline this year’s ceremony
The 6-time world champion was initially scheduled to get inducted into the class of 2020. However, the plans were nixed during the pandemic that year. In an interview, Batista revealed he requested WWE to postpone his induction so he could thank his fans in person.
To the @WWEUniverse Unfortunately due to previous obligations I am unable to be a part of the @WWE #HOF this year. By my request they have agreed to induct me at a future ceremony where I’ll be able to properly thank the fans and people who made my career possible🙏🏼 #DreamChaser
