Mya Lesnar is making significant strides in the world of sports, distinguishing herself with remarkable achievements in track and field. Recently, she shattered the Colorado State shot put record, demonstrating her exceptional talent and dedication. Her outstanding performance has also earned her All-Mountain West honors.
Her success doesn’t stop there. She clinched first place in the weight throw at the indoor Mountain West Championships, further solidifying her reputation as a formidable athlete. Her accomplishments in these events underscore her commitment to excellence and her promising future in sports.
During a press conference, Mya was asked about her father, WWE & UFC Legend Brock Lesnar. Mya revealed the biggest thing her father has taught her:
“It’s really not about my dad. He is one of my biggest supporters, but at the end of the day, I’m here to make a name for myself. I think I’ve been in his shadow for so many years, which is cool, I guess.
To me, at the end of the day, what I want people to know is that he’s dad to me. I don’t look at him as this superstar of a person. Him just being in my corner and me being in the spotlight and him in my shadow a little watching me, that’s super cool.
This is not really going to sound good, but right after I won my NCAA Title, he was like, ‘Take it all in, enjoy it, and then put it away and we move on’. Honestly, at first I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ I had literally been dreaming about this day and it was such an incredible moment.
Then I thought about it, and that is how life happens. You win some, you lose some, and it’s important to recognize all the hard work you put in, but the biggest thing he taught me was do not let your trophies or anything you’ve done change you as a person.
I’ve tried super hard to be successful but also to not have an ego or to not be grateful to the people that have come into my life or the things that I’ve done. It sounds super cliche, but I guess I just moved on and I’m ready for the next thing. That’s how he’s always lived.”

Speaking of Brock, he finds himself entangled in a legal controversy stemming from a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and WWE in January. The lawsuit alleges that McMahon used Ms. Grant inappropriately to secure the services of “a world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion,” widely believed to be Lesnar, as WWE sought to renew his contract.
Following the filing of this lawsuit, Lesnar was removed from creative plans, indicating the potential impact of these serious allegations on his WWE career. The situation continues to unfold, and its repercussions within WWE remain to be seen.
