WWE Reportedly Has Chosen a 6-Time World Champion to Headline the 2023 Hall of Fame Ceremony

After the completion of two premium events at WWE in early 2023, everyone has set their eyes on the upcoming major events. One of which is undoubtedly the Hall of Fame induction ceremony which will take place on March 31 from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. However, till now, no names have been announced but reports are hinting at a former heavyweight champion headlining the ceremony. 

Even though there’s no disclosure of any names, everything will soon be announced as WrestleMania is less than six weeks away. Prior to the official declaration, the experts started speculating on the most deserving names for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame. The name of one former wrestler has persistently come across different platforms. Everyone thinks that it’s been long overdue. 

Reports hinting at a former WWE legend’s long overdue Hall of Fame induction

According to one report by Wrestling News Premium, the 6-time world champion, Batista will be headlining the event during WrestleMania 39 Weekend. Moreover, during a conversation between GiveMeSport and WrestleVotes, a statement by the latter also points to the same information. 

WrestleVotes explained, “Vince McMahon ‘is not going to happen, at least as far as this year. Batista seems like it makes the most sense. It’s kind of owed to him.”

This also reminds us of the day when WWE originally announced The Animal for the 2020 Hall of Fame Class. But it was then postponed due to COVID-19. It then commenced in the next year, when both the 2020 and 2021 ceremonies were held together. But even during that day, Batista couldn’t be there. However, he soon addressed it and made clarifications over a tweet. In the tweet, he also mentioned his request to the authorities for inducting him in a future ceremony.
