In 2021 a Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held inside the ThunderDome, but Batista confirmed he asked to be inducted at a future ceremony when he said, “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.”
