While it is way early to be issuing special invites to the 2022 Mr. Olympia, a great many people jumped to conclusions based on Dan Solomon's story. As a result, a snowball effect ensued and a great many fans have a bad taste in their mouth.
If you were to poll most people, right now, they'd think Lewis was denied the special invite.
When Dan clarified his position, making mention of "trust the process," it would seem to me, that Lewis will, in fact, be getting one. While a build-up is great, as is suspense, the more people wait, the less faith they'll have that The Welsh Dragon will in fact get the invite.
Playing the waiting game, after misinformation went viral, may not have a positive marketing effect. Further, if there's any chance that Lewis would compete, why not give him the benefit of having the most amount of time, possible, to make a decision and/or to prep?
