In the conversation, Noah asked Ealy if she knew Mya. To this, she replied that not only did she know her, but had also said a word or two to Mya regarding her future course of career. While Mya’s NCAA victory is commendable, Ealy showed her the other side that deals with the pro world. Recalling her conversation, Ealy said, “I said that’s that college stuff…no one cares if you’re an NCAA champion when you go pro…like no one cares.” Noah also agrees to that. Then what matters? Ealy answered that as well to Mya.

According to Ealy, she drove Mya to the National Championships. Ealy explained. “I said…you need the experience…coz, once you graduate if you trying to get on the circuit, having the experience of just going to National Championships, is good…even if don’t  do anything there…you need to feel how it feels against the best in the country.” Interestingly, Noah even said he thought Mya should show up in the Olympic trials. To this Ealy jokingly said, “If she doesn’t go to Olympic trials, I will punch her!” These talks are not overestimates going by Mya’s recent achievements.

While WWE fans know Brock Lesnar as the formidable “Beast Incarnate,” his daughter, Mya Lesnar, is making headlines of her own with an incredible performance in the NCAA. Mya Lesnar won the NCAA indoor shot put championship in Boston, throwing for an impressive 18.53 meters.

As a junior at Colorado State University, she’s already proving to be a force to be reckoned with, having finished 11th in the same event last year. Interestingly, this year she entered the outdoor championships as the #1 seed in the country. This made a remarkable moment for Colorado State as well.
