So far, we know that nWo, Batista, The Bella Twins and JBL will be entering the 2020 Hall of Fame. Bradshaw was the latest to be confirmed for the class, with the announcement coming on this week’s episode of WWE Backstage.
Now WWE has confirmed that the next inductee will be announced by Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast which drops on Thursday 12, March.

This is clearly a tactic by WWE to get fans to perhaps tune in to the company’s lesser-watched/lesser-listened to shows like ATB and Backstage. Based on the latest WWE Backstage viewership numbers, this tactic isn’t working.
With regards to who is likely to be announced as the latest inductor on Thursday, it has been rumoured that The British Bulldog and NJPW legend Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger will be entering the 2020 class. However, they have not been announced by WWE yet.
As a show that is probably only listened to by the most hardcore of WWE fans who are probably more knowledgable about things, I predict that Liger will be announced on After The Bell.
As someone whose only WWE match came in 2015 as part of NXT, I think that WWE may realise that more knowledgable fans who are more likely to listen to the podcast will know who Liger is.
