There wasn’t an actual opponent, of course—just Paige, her imagination, and maybe a bit too much energy to keep bottled up. But she sold the moment so convincingly, it looked like she was gearing up for a major pay-per-view showdown.
A little humor goes a long way, especially coming from someone who’s usually all business on the court. Paige lightening the atmosphere while staying focused says a lot about the teammate and leader she’s becoming.
So even if her real punches are more about dishing assists and sinking shots, don’t be shocked if “Paige the Puncher” becomes a fan favorite nickname. The Wings have scored a star who’s not just a scoring threat but also brings an infectious vibe off the court.
