If The Rock doesn't come back -- maybe he gets hurt training, there are schedule conflicts, or the rumors are just bullshit -- I can see Triple H working Batista. In that case, I can see the Hall of Fame thing being an subtle kayfabe "power play" by Triple H. Like, they won't make an angle out of the HOF, per se, but Batista will be put in, show up and make an announcement like "You really think I'm done? *boom*" and in his speech he'll talk about how he's accepting the Hall of Fame, but he's not going to let it psyche him out and he's got some big stuff left -- never say never, etc.
