As noted, WWE quietly removed Batista induction announcement and details from their website, and we now have a possible reason as to why “The Animal” isn’t listed.
The belief is that Batista’s omission is due to a schedule conflict. Dave Meltzer commented on the story on Wrestling Observer Radio, claiming that was the reason being floated around but ‘[didn’t] know that to be the case.’
Fightful Select also reported details on Dave Batista’s induction, claiming he’s still going to eventually be inducted into the Hall Of Fame but WWE wants to do it “when a full crowd can enjoy it.” Batista’s photo does appear once in the WWE HOF hub, but an error message pops up when fans attempt to access the announcement page.
On a related note, Daniel Bryan was listed as a 2021 inductee on a listing on the WWE Network and Peacock on Saturday. In regards to the listing, it was noted by both outlets that this was simply a mistake and there are no plans for Daniel Bryan to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2021.
Current plans for this year’s ceremony will see both the 2020 and 2021 Hall Of Fame classes inducted in a closed cermony at the WWE ThunderDome. Eric Bischoff will join Molly Holly in the 2021 WWE Hall Of Fame class, while the 2020 class includes JBL, British bulldog, Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger, nWo (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman) and the Bella Twins.
