Dave Batista addresses the situation with him not being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame yet

Dave Batista was supposed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020 but the ceremony ended up being canceled due to Covid-19. In 2021, Batista tweeted that he wasn’t able to be inducted “due to previous obligations” but added that the company would induct him in a future year. Batista’s induction was once again delayed in 2022 in 2023.

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Batista addressed the situation…

“Eventually, I will. I want to, and there was a good opportunity for me to go in a couple years ago, and I agreed to do it. Hunter asked me to do it, and I said, ‘Yeah, of course.’ It was here in LA, and I thought it was perfect, it was storybook because I won my first title here in LA, and we couldn’t figure it out because I was working on a film. I was in South Africa, so logistically, we just couldn’t make it happen, but yeah, I’m still open to it, and one day, I would like to.” (quote courtesy of Colin Tessier)
