It’s almost time for the most prestigious bodybuilding contest in the world

Former WWE superstar Eva Marie is in Las Vegas for the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest. She seems excited to be part of the Olympia weekend and might be looking for some familiar faces who’re attending the show. “Who’s in Vegas for #mrolympia,” tweeted the former WWE diva. She also added two ‘flexing’ emoticons at the end of her post.

While Eva Marie doesn’t have a history of bodybuilding, she is a fan of the sport. Eva also works out regularly and her husband, Jonathan Coyle is a fitness coach. Earlier this year, the couple also attended the Arnold Classic together. 

2022 promises to be the most competitive year for the Mr. Olympia contest post-lockdown. Reigning champion Big Ramy couldn’t train for most of 2021. While he won the show, the defending champion promised fans he would be in the best shape of his life. However, other competitors, like Hadi Choopan, Brandon Curry, Nick Walker, and others, aim to do the same.

In the Classic Physique category, Chris Bumstead remains the favorite. However, Bumstead faces stiff competition from rivals Breon Ansley and Terrence Ruffin. Fans also think newcomers Ramon Dino and Urs Kalecinski are going to give Chris a run for his money.
