WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry publicly thanked Brock Lesnar for mentoring his daughter Joanna in amateur wrestling. Joanna went 4-0 at the Women’s National Duels held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Henry posted on social media after the event. He wrote that Lesnar would be proud of Joanna’s performance that day. The post included a photo showing Lesnar with Joanna.
Lesnar has spent time training Joanna and sharing his wrestling knowledge with her. Henry had spoken about the sessions earlier, noting Lesnar’s willingness to help young wrestlers. The guidance appears to have contributed to Joanna’s recent results in competition.
Joanna Henry competes in women’s freestyle wrestling. She has been involved in the sport for a couple of years and has already achieved state level success. Her father has shared updates on her progress, including state championships and tournament finishes.
Brock Lesnar, a former NCAA wrestling champion and WWE star, has stayed involved with the wrestling community outside of his own matches. Reports indicate he attended the Indianapolis event to support Joanna in person.
