Goldberg Has Specific Deal For WWE Saudi Arabian Events

WWE is going back to Saudi Arabia for another event on October 21st, and the company is still stacking that loaded card. We know about two matches so far, but Goldberg vs Bobby Lashley is also incredibly likely for the Crown Jewel event. That turns out to be a special note in Goldberg’s contract.

The WWE Title will not be in play when Goldberg vs Lashley goes down again. Instead, Goldberg is looking to kill The All Mighty. This violent situation will go down in Saudi Arabia and Goldberg will command a huge payday when doing so.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer brought up this situation as he noted that Goldberg must be on the big Saudi show, because WWE has a special deal with him for a ton of cash. So, there would be an issue if he didn’t work the event.

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 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. It’s not like all the other guys who are going to get paid the said whether they’re on the show.”

Goldberg commands a very high payday and it’s been like that for a long time. This is why Vince McMahon has him on an ultimate part time schedule. It’s still good that they can get Goldberg to make a return, even if he won’t leave the house without a huge chunk of change.
