WWE's big plans for the 2021 Hall of Fame, inductees, and the ceremony revealed

As we all know, the WWE 2020 Hall of Fame ceremony had to be nixed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The details about the status of the event have been scarce over the past few months.

Dave Meltzer has now provided a host of significant updates about the 2021 edition of the Hall of Fame. Meltzer reported in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the plan is for the 2021 ceremony to go ahead with the planned inductees of 2020.

The inductees scheduled to go into the Hall of Fame of 2020 included Dave Batista, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, JBL, The Bella Twins, The British Bulldog aka Davey Boy Smith, Hulk Hogan, Sean Waltman, and Scott Hall of the nWo.

Meltzer added that WWE would most likely conduct a virtual ceremony. However, that decision would depend on several factors.

There were no updates on whether WWE plans on adding more members, and it seems like the 2020 ceremony will finally happen before WrestleMania 37.
