In 2000, Batista joined WWE as part of their Ohio Valley System developmental program. He honed his skills there for two years, where he trained alongside future legends such as John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Randy Orton.
Batista’s final match was against Triple H at WrestleMania 35, where he would lose to The Game. The Animal was supposed to receive a WWE Hall of Fame induction back in 2021, but he pulled out of the ceremony thanks to pandemic issues.
According to Wrestling News Premium, WrestlingNews.co’s Patreon account , Batista will be headlining this year’s WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony.
According to the report, those they spoke with in the company believe that both sides wanted to wait on his induction as there wouldn’t be fans in attendance to hear his speech, which is something he wanted to do in front of fans.
We’ll have to wait and see when Batista will be officially announced for the Hall Of Fame.
