During an interview with The Backstage Brawl in September 2024 (via 9News sports), Brock Lesnar's daughter, Mya acknowledged her father as a major supporter in her athletic journey. She also expressed her desire to establish her own identity.

She acknowledged the fame that came along with being Lesnar's daughter. However, she made clear that her ultimate goal is to be known for her own accomplishments rather than simply associated with his legacy. Expressing her thoughts on her father's support and creating her identity, she said:

"He's one of my biggest supporters, but at the end of the day, I am here to make name for myself. I think I've been in his shadow for so many years. Which is cool. But, honestly, to me, at the end of the day, what I want people to know is he's dad to me." (0:01 onwards)

Further in the interview, the 22-year-old shared insights into how her father, Brock Lesnar, raised her with strong values and a grounded mindset. She recalled a moment after winning the NCAA title when the former WWE and UFC champion offered her a lesson in humility. Rather than focusing on the victory itself, he reminded her that winning trophies or achieving success should never change who she is as a person.
