2: He'd bring mainstream exposure
Batista is known by wrestling fans as one of the biggest stars of the 21st Century, but he is well known to non-fans as well.
After leaving the WWE in 2010, The Animal tried his hand in acting and has become a huge success.
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
Having big roles in Blade Runner 2049 and James Bond hit Spectre, Batista's biggest film role to date has been as Drax the Destroyer, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Having Batista be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame would definitely bring mainstream exposure to the company, just in time for WrestleMania 36 the next night.
In a time when the WWE is constantly making a name for itself in the mainstream media (for both good and bad reasons), this would definitely be a plus.
