While competing to be the best they could be on stage, Heath and Greene developed one of the most notable rivalries in bodybuilding history. It has recently resurfaced on social media with comments back and forth.

During the 2020 show, Heath finished third and fans have been waiting for his return ever since. His seven titles is second all-time to Ronnie Colemanand Lee Haney, who are tied at the top for eight. Many wonder if Heath would return in hopes of matching this all-time record.

There has also been rumors about Greene returning to the stage for years now. He recently sparked those rumors with a video arriving in Pittsburgh. He is a two-time Arnold Classic champ and has won other heralded shows, such as the New York Pro. Greene is considered to be one of the best bodybuilders ever to never win a Sandow Trophy.
Heath and Greene went head-to-head many times on the Olympia stage. In 2011, Greene finished third at the Olympia and would go on to be the runner-up in the next three.
