Former three-time Fitness Olympia Missy Truscott hasn’t lost faith in Nick Walker’s bodybuilding potential. On Nov. 1, 2025, she labeled Walker a future Mr. Olympia winner.
Nick Walker was a huge favorite before the 2025 Mr. Olympia. Despite missing out on the prestigious event twice, once due to injury and another from prep complications, he finally returned to Vegas. However, the moment prejudging kicked off, judges and fans alike could tell it wasn’t the usual Walker. Some noted that he lacked the same pop he had in his chest, and his waist detracted from his aesthetics.
Ultimately, the judges awarded him sixth place. To begin his campaign back up the ladder, he parted ways with his coach, Kyle Wilkes. He’s yet to confirm his next contest on the horizon, though Truscott has her own opinions on what he should do next.
Missy Truscott on Nick Walker: “I Think He Is a Mr. Olympia. He Will Get It.”
During her YouTube video, Truscott expressed confidence in Walker’s ability to one day win the Mr. Olympia title.
It’ll be interesting to see if Nick Walker jumps in at the Arnold. If he started to refine right now, they clearly just want him more conditioned or smaller midsection, I don’t fucking know, maybe it’s posing… I have no idea. I think… maybe not this Nick Walker at this year’s Olympia, but I think he is a Mr. Olympia. He will get it.”
She believes it might serve Walker best if he competes later in the 2026 season instead of jumping into the Arnold Classic or even the New York Pro in May.

“Yeah [he’s going to be in the mix every time]. It’s like gosh, do I want to see him at this year’s Arnold or would I rather see him compete later in the summer and go into the Olympia, because he’s going to need a new coach, right? So we’ll see what happens,” said Missy Truscott.
“I think New York is too soon,” she added.
Walker has recently teased the idea of jumping into the 2026 Arnold Classic. If he does, he’ll have a mini-Olympia lineup to contend with. Thus far, coach Chris Aceto has confirmed Jacked will compete, and Terrick El Guindy has suggested that Lunsford will also be at the event.
The 2026 Arnold Classic features unprecedented stakes. The Open winner will walk away with a life-changing $750,000 payday when the smoke clears.
