Meltzer stated,“Obviously, the other match that is also 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 going to pull his match to put it on TV he wouldn’t be happy whatsoever. That’s millions of dollars of difference. It’s not like the other guys where it really doesn’t make a difference, they’re going to get paid the same as long as they’re on the show. He’s gotta be on the show.”
