The nWo, British Bulldog, and Batista will get their WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony after all - but it'll be a little different.

Dave Meltzer stated on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that last year's class will be inducted virtually, without fans, though he admits that WWE's plans may change between now and whenever it goes down.

WrestleVotes had previously pinpointed WM37 weekend as the 2020 Hall of Fame ceremony's new date.

WWE's 2020 inductions were postponed at the onset of the global health crisis that March. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing them into empty arenas, WrestleMania 36 was switched from Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to a barrej Performance Center across state in Orlando, while the Hall of Fame was put on ice indefinitely. Now, it appears an end is finally in sight.

The New World Order (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman), Batista, John 'Bradshaw' Layfield, the British Bulldog, Jushin 'Thunder' Liger, and Nikki and Brie Bella were all set to be inducted last April. There is currently no word on whether or not WWE will announce new inductees or roll with last year's class as is.
