Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has revealed that Goldberg has a very lucrative deal for the WWE shows in Saudi Arabia. He said that, unlike other superstars, Goldberg gets paid more for shows in Saudi Arabia.
“The other match that is going to be there is Lashley and Bill Goldberg, because that one won’t be put on TV, because Goldberg does have a specific deal with the Saudi shows that is very lucrative," said Meltzer. "And if you were gonna pull his match to put it on TV, he wouldn’t be happy at all. That’s millions of dollars of difference,'' said Meltzer
The former Universal Champion will face Lashley in their SummerSlam rematch at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia this month. Goldberg lost his last encounter due to a referee stoppage when he couldn't continue due to an injured knee.
