Although rumours have surfaced about
Vince McMahon possibly headlining next year's class (more on him later),
Batista is the most likely, and above all, the better choice. First of all, he was supposed to headline the class of 2020. Three ceremonies have
already gone by, and WWE can only wait so long before Dave's induction turns
into a "Legend has it X is still Y" meme. They should get it over
