To the @WWEUniverse Unfortunately due to previous obligations I am unable to be a part of the @WWE #HOF this year. By my request they have agreed to induct me at a future ceremony where I’ll be able to properly thank the fans and people who made my career possible🙏🏼 #DreamChaser

The 6-time World Champion was originally set to headline the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020. However, it will not happen anymore.
After Batista’s omission, the 2020 Class looks like this – John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL), The British Bulldog, Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger, the New World Order (nWo), and The Bella Twins.

Batista retired from professional wrestling in 2019, wrestling his last match against Triple H at WrestleMania 35. ‘The Animal’ enjoyed an immensely successful WWE career. His feuds against The Undertaker, Triple H, Randy Orton, and John Cena are unforgettable!
We’ll definitely miss seeing Batista in the Hall of Fame. The legendary career of ‘The Animal’ deserves a befitting love and response from the people and fans in attendance. With WrestleMania going to Hollywood next year, we could see Batista get inducted there.
