Report: WWE Planned To Induct 2020 Hall Of Fame Members Throughout The Year

The induction ceremony for the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame class had to be postponed, but WWE did have plans to make it happen this year.

According to Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net, WWE planned to "piecemeal" the inductions by holding them at various times throughout the year. Inductions were planned to take place during SmackDown or Raw and not in conjunction with any pay-per-view. Unfortunately, COVID-19 and "other factors" made inductions impossible.

The Hall of Fame ceremony was originally scheduled for WrestleMania weekend but was canceled due to COVID-19.

Davey Boy Smith's Daughter Georgia said in March that WWE was hoping to hold the Hall of Fame induction ceremony during SummerSlam weekend, but that did not happen. 

WrestleVotes noted that the new plan is to induct the class of 2020 during WrestleMania 37 weekend.

WWE has not commented on the status of the 2020 Hall of Fame ceremony.

Batista, JBL, Jushin Thunder Liger, British Bulldog, NWO (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, & X-Pac), and the Bella Twins (Nikki & Brie Bella) were announced for the 2020 Hall of Fame.
