The multiple titleholder was originally declared the main attraction for the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020, following his retirement match against Triple H at WrestleMania 35. However, when the pandemic required a virtual ceremony, Batista postponed his induction, expressing a desire to wait until he could celebrate in person with fans, friends, and family. Since his initial announcement for the WWE Hall of Fame five years ago, ceremonies have resumed their regular format, but Batista continues to hold back from participating.

The Animal’s immortal induction is still coming.

At a recent interview for “The Killer’s Game” press event, Dave Bautista made it clear that his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame is something that will happen eventually.

As time goes by, I’ll seize the chance. Truth be told, there was an excellent opening a few years back, and I accepted the challenge. When Triple H proposed it, I didn’t hesitate; I simply said, “Sure thing!”

In late 2019, Batista initially got selected for the WWE Hall of Fame, but he postponed his enshrinement because he preferred to wait for the ceremony to take place in front of a live audience. Later discussions suggested that it might occur during the WWE WrestleMania 39 weekend, but a prior commitment related to filming prevented this from materializing.

As a fan, I can’t help but reminisce about the magical moments here in Los Angeles. This is where I claimed my first title, making it feel like a storybook come to life for me. However, as fate would have it, I was engrossed in filmmaking at the time, which made it challenging to revisit this city. I was actually in South Africa, and due to logistical constraints, we couldn’t make it work. But let me assure you, my heart still yearns for a return to LA. One day, I hope to be back, embracing the memories and creating new ones.

From the year 2000 through 2010, Batista had a full-time run with the WWE. His breakthrough came in 2003 when he entered the stable known as Evolution, which included himself, Randy Orton, Triple H, and Ric Flair. After disagreements within this group, Batista rose to become a main event solo performer, winning six world titles and headlining the WWE’s WrestleMania 21. He left the WWE in 2010 for acting pursuits but returned briefly in 2014, where he won that year’s Royal Rumble Match and co-headlined WrestleMania 30. Batista made another comeback in 2019, retiring officially at WrestleMania 35 after losing to his longtime friend, mentor, and rival Triple H.
