Mya Lesnar recently took part in a press conference to discuss what it has been like learning from her father, Brock Lesnar.
Mya recently broke the shot put record for Colorado State, and has earned All-Mountain West honors.
She said, “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.”

As we previously reported here on eWn, Kayla Braxton is departing WWE after eight years to pursue other opportunities.
Taking to Instagram, Braxton commented on her farewell following last night’s WWE SmackDown TV tapings. She wrote,
“I’m so overwhelmed. So thankful. Wow. I still can’t put what last night meant to me into words. But to have @americannightmarecody buying me out into MSG to bid my farewell to all of you while @tripleh and members of my WWE family were waiting for me in the back to congratulate me … I couldn’t have asked for a better goodbye. This family is truly special and I plan to always be a part of it. I love you all more than you know”
