Mya's birth marked a turning point in her father's life, as she came into the world during the onset of his WWE career. In his 2011 memoir "Death Clutch," Brock said of his daughter:

For Brock, fatherhood had posed challenges. He grappled with being away from his daughter because of his growing wrestling career and the feeling of missing out on important moments with her.

Brock eventually signed a non-compete agreement with WWE, limiting his options when he decided to leave. Despite the challenges, he acknowledged the positive aspects of working for WWE, such as making a lot of money.

Ultimately, Brock knew what he wanted; to prioritize his family and pursue other athletic opportunities. Consequently, he decided to leave WWE.
