“Paige can’t fight all of us yall,” said one Azzi Fudd fan.
“what paige said? “🥵🥵🥵”,” another fan added.
“@paigebueckers can you fight?” one fan actually challenging Paige Bueckers to a fight over Fudd commented.
Meanwhile, some fans were just dreaming that both girls would just place them in a headlock.
“I’d let both put me in headlock with a smile on my face 😭..respectfully,” hoped one fan.
“choke me please Ma,” asked another fan towards Ilona Maher.
