Dave Bautista (Batista) On WWE Hall Of Fame Induction: Eventually, I Will. I Want To

Batista says he wants to be inducted one day.

Dave Bautista, also known as six-time world champion Batista in WWE, was set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020. However, the ceremony was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was not part of the ceremony in 2021, and he said that WWE agreed to induct him at a future date. Bautista previously confirmed that he was set for the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame, but film commitments prohibited his induction. He was not inducted in 2024, either.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Dave Bautista was asked whether he was still going in the WWE Hall of Fame.

“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," Batista said.

Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.

Bautista recently said that he tried to sneak a Batista Bomb into every film. Check out his comments here.
