and the nWo — the faction that led World Championship Wrestling to battle with the WWE during the Monday Night Wars will enter the promotion's growing list of Hall of Fame performers and athletes. Dave Bautista, better known to fans as simply Batista, was a multi-time world heavyweight champion with the company.

Many non-WWE fans know"The Animal" from his roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy films where he played Drax. This past April, Batista wrestled for the final time when he went up against Triple H at WrestleMania 35 a match he would lose.
