There's one huge reason Goldberg, having already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, broke his hermitude to return to WWE for a third run.

And apparently, it wasn't a ginormous sack of Saudi Arabian petrodollars.

The man himself directly states that he isn't in Jeddah for the cash, but for himself. An opportunity to face off with The Undertaker simply could not be refused, as he gives off the impression he'd have been happy to do it for free (though funnily enough, it was this particularly lucrative setting which saw it finally happen).

"This ain't the money, but the charge," he lies. It doesn't make loads of sense given something he says later in the documentary.
