According to recent reports, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is heading to Saudi Arabia but might not wrestle at the premium live event.

Earlier this year, he returned to the company and challenged The Tribal Chief for the Universal Championship. The two superstars were originally set to collide at WrestleMania 36, but the pandemic derailed those plans, and the Hall of Famer dropped the title to Braun Strowman at The Showcase of the Immortals.

Roman Reigns accepted his challenge, and the two powerhouses faced each other at the Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia. In the closing moments, Reigns caught him in a Guillotine choke hold, and Goldberg passed out and lost the match.

According to a report from Xero News, Goldberg will be heading to Saudi Arabia for a racing show as he has been invited by the Prince. As of now, there are no reports indicating that Bill will be wrestling at the Crown Jewel.

During the latest episode of WWE's The Bump, the WCW legend said he needs to give the Bloodline leader "a little receipt" for choking him out in Saudi Arabia.
