Former WWE superstar turned actor Batista (Dave Bautista) will be inducted into the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame on April 2nd at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, according to news first reported by People.com.

Speaking about the news, Batista had the following to say, “Vince McMahon called me personally to ask me, I was just, I wasn’t surprised, but I was pretty happy. It’s a good feeling, it’s a really great feeling. As soon as I hung up the phone, I was…and excuse my language, I was like, s**t, I gotta give a speech and that is what I’ve been stressing about since. I don’t think it’s sunk in and I was thinking about it because I mean, it seems like a long journey, but it also feels like yesterday when I started my career and it also feels…..because I’m still working so much, it doesn’t feel like an end of a journey and I said that at WrestleMania last year. It’s the end of my in-ring journey, but it’s not the end of my journey with the WWE, I will always be connected with them, I’ll always be affiliated with them, I hope that I will always have a good relationship with them, so it doesn’t really feel like an ending for me, it feels like, kind of, I’m right in the mix. All I can say is it feels good, it’s just satisfying, I feel like I accomplished something, I feel like it was all worth it.”
