Who Should Induct Each Member Into The Class Of 2020
The WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony is always one of the most exciting nights of the calendar year. While it's unknown when the night will be happening due to the current global pandemic, there is no doubt WWE will make a big deal of it when it does happen. This year, WWE has loaded up the deck with an amazing class of deserving legends. It's one of the greatest honors any wrestler could get, and it is an important night for them and choosing who inducts them is always a big task.
Whoever is given the honor and responsibility of inducting someone certainly has a huge job on their hands. Here, we will take a look at all the confirmed names that are being inducted this year and reveal who we think should induct each legend into the WWE Hall Of Fame.
6 The British Bulldog (Should Be Inducted By Bret "The Hitman" Hart)
Honourable Mentions: DH Smith, Natalya, Tyson Kidd
Davey Boy Smith, a.k.a the British Bulldog is this year's posthumous induction and is someone that WWE fans have wanted to see inducted for a long time. He is one of the all-time greats and seeing him get inducted is something he more than deserves. There's no doubt that it will be a member of the Hart family that does the induction, as that is how he is best remembered. Because of that, Bret Hart seems like the logical choice to induct him.
WWE likes to bring in as many legends as possible to the whole event from those being inducted to the people giving the speeches. This helps sell tickets and makes the event prestigious, and you don't get more iconic than the Hitman.
5 Jushin 'Thunder' Liger (Should Be Inducted By Rey Mysterio)
Honourable Mentions: Triple H, William Regal, Tyler Breeze
Jushin 'Thunder' Liger is the toughest person to pick for because the vast majority of his career was spent in Japan. He didn't work much in WWE, but he did compete for a while in WCW. During that time, he worked several matches against Rey Mysterio and considering they both work a similar style, Rey seems like the best choice.
They are arguably the two greatest masked wrestlers of all time and seeing Rey talk about Liger would be great. He is someone with true respect and passion for the business, which they both have. With Liger not having a clear rival to pick out, Mysterio certainly seems like a really great option to induct him.
4 The Bella Twins (Should Be Inducted By Natalya)
Honourable Mentions: Alicia Fox, Daniel Bryan, Stephanie McMahon
The Bella Twins will be taking their rightful place into the Hall Of Fame this year as the female inductees. They've had some brilliant feuds over the course of their careers, and one person who has been there through it all is Natalya. After all, she was in FCW alongside the Bella Twins and has therefore been with them all the way both in the ring and backstage.

All three of them are incredibly close, which is highlighted on Total Divas where they also spend a lot of time together. They have competed against each other and alongside each other and have been through it all. From being Divas to getting the respect they deserve. Natalya will also give a tremendous speech from the heart as well, taking the responsibility well.
3 JBL (Should Be Inducted By Ron Simmons)
Honourable Mentions: John Cena, The Undertaker, Vickie Guerrero
Out of everyone in the Hall Of Fame class of 2020, the most obvious choice for who should induct the legends is JBL's. If it is anybody other than Ron Simmons, then it will be a disappointing surprise to people.
JBL was the person who inducted Ron, and it is widely expected he will return the favor this year. The two of them were tag team partners and spent large portions of their career together dominating the wrestling landscape. Even though JBL went on to have major singles success in his career, it only feels right that Ron Simmons inducts him. It would be the perfect way to bookend JBL's career, and hopefully, that is exactly what happens.
2 NWO (Should Be Inducted By Sting)
Honourable Mentions: Eric Bischoff, Big Show, Triple H
WWE often likes to use someone's main rival as the person to induct a person or group. It makes sense, as that is the person they've shared the most time with inside the ring and is the person who they became famous working with. In the case of the nWo, that man is Sting.

While Eric Bischoff could make sense as he put the group together, it would likely only cause outrage amongst fans that he isn't being inducted alongside the group. Therefore, Sting makes the most sense. It's a great way to get him involved in WrestleMania weekend, and it would certainly be interesting to hear what he has to say about the group.
1 Batista (Should Be Inducted By Fit Finlay)
Honourable Mention: Triple H, Rey Mysterio, John Cena
Fit Finlay might seem like a bit of random name to be inducting Batista into the Hall Of Fame. After all, the Animal had legendary feuds with names in the honorable mentions that seemingly make more sense than the Belfast Bruiser. However, Dave Bautista is the only person who has made it publicly clear who he wants to induct him.
The multi-time World Champion took to social media and stated he would like the Irishman to be the man who does the speech. Considering that Finlay works behind the scenes in WWE, this should be a fairly easy request to agree to. While it might not be a ticket seller or an obvious pick, if it's what Batista wants then it is what he should get.
