Mya Lesnar reveals biggest lesson father Brock Lesnar has taught her; how she sees him

Brock Lesnar's WWE future remains up in the air, but his daughter is making strides in her athletic journey. While preparing for a major opportunity, Mya Lynn Lesnar recently revealed a rare glimpse at the real man behind The Beast Incarnate, including the life lessons he has taught her.

Brock has not wrestled since SummerSlam 2023. Lesnar's return plans were nixed after he was allegedly linked to the recent allegations against Vince McMahon. Mya has made headlines for months now as she excels in Track & Field at Colorado State University. The 22-year-old set records on her way to becoming the 2024 NCAA Women's Indoor Shot Put Champion earlier this year, and then finished fifth at the Outdoor Nationals earlier this month.

Brock's daughter will try to secure a spot at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris when she competes in the U.S. Track & Field Olympic Trials in Oregon on Friday. If she qualifies for the finals, they will take place on Saturday. The trials will air across NBC, USA Network, and Peacock.

Mya recently spoke to The Denver Post about her father, who also won an NCAA championship in wrestling for Minnesota State University in 2000. She declared that Brock Lesnar is one of her biggest supporters, but she was focused on making a name for herself.

"I think I’ve been in his shadow for so many years, which is cool I guess but honestly, to me, at the end of the day, what I want people to know is he’s dad to me. I honestly don’t look at him as this superstar of a person. Him just being in my corner and now me kind of being in the spotlight and him in my shadow a little bit, watching me, I think that’s super cool," Mya Lesnar said.

Mya, who has a brother named Luke from Brock's relationship with former fiancée, Nicole McClain, revealed the biggest life lesson the former WWE Champion has taught her.

"Right after I won my NCAA title he was like, ‘Take it all in, enjoy it. And then, you know, put it away. And, you know, we move on.’ At first I was like, ‘What do you mean? I have been literally dreaming about this day and it was such an incredible moment.’ Then I kind of thought about it... that is kind of just how life happens — you win some, you lose some and it’s important to recognize all the hard work that you have put in. I think the biggest thing that he has taught me is, ‘Do not let your trophies or anything that you’ve done change you as a person,'" Mya Lesnar said.

The daughter of The Beast Incarnate continued and was adamant about staying humble. The 22-year-old said she was ready for what was next like her father always was.

"I tried super, super hard to be successful, but to also not have an ego, or to not be grateful for the people that have come into my life, or the things that I’ve done. So, yeah...it sounds super cliché I guess, but... I guess I just moved on and I’m ready for the next thing, and that’s kind of how he’s always lived," Mya Lesnar said.

Brock Lesnar's daughter Mya has studied criminal justice in college while maintaining her athletic career. She has stated that her dream job would be in the military.

Brock Lesnar is approaching 1 year since his last WWE match

It has been 326 days since Brock Lesnar wrestled a match in WWE. The last time The Beast Incarnate stepped into the ring was on August 5, 2023, at SummerSlam. At the event, he was defeated by Cody Rhodes.

Cody defeated Brock at Backlash in May 2023, but then Lesnar made him tap out at Night of Champions that same month. The end of their feud came at SummerSlam as The Beast Incarnate showed massive respect to The American Nightmare after the latter defeated him.

WWE began distancing itself from Lesnar once he was allegedly linked to the allegations against Vince McMahon. Officials planned for the 46-year-old star to return at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event earlier this year, but he was replaced by Bron Breakker.

Brock Lesnar is still under contract with WWE. It remains to be seen when and if the Stamford-based company will bring The Beast Incarnate back into the mix.
