After establishing that he wasn't going to steal Jon Moxley's thunder and show up at Double Or Nothing, 'Taker started to relax and feel pretty good about things. His health was solid, life was good at home and he'd successfully managed to navigate the personal pain of missing out on WrestleMania.

Then, Triple H called and offered him Goldberg.

'Taker couldn't knock the challenge back, and he couldn't have known that he was in for another Saudi Arabian nightmare that'd prolong his agonising relationship with the country. Excited and buzzed about putting on a show, he mingled backstage with talent at Raw and charmed everyone with his fun-loving, laid back personality.

Any excitement turned to dejection, and smiles turns to scowls, when the Super ShowDown 2019 main event with Goldberg fell apart following a promising first few minutes. 'Last Ride' hints that 'Taker took his eye off the ball a little heading into the match.
