Journalist Brad Shepard, who recently broke the story about the XFL possibly returning under another name, reports that current plans for the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Class have Bill Goldberg, The Dudleys, Ivory and Bam Bam Bigelow going in. Kid Rock would get the Celebrity Wing induction.
Dave Meltzer noted in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Goldberg’s name has been discussed as the headliner for some time now and The Dudleys have also been discussed for a while. Meltzer added that Batista was talked about at one point, but with the feeling that if he’s coming back, it might be delayed and he’s not on the list. As noted, Batista recently said that he has spoken to Vince McMahon about a WWE return and that he doesn’t just want a one-off.
WWE should announce the Hall of Fame headliner as WrestleMania 34 Season kicks off in January.
