Social media lit up with mixtakes, some calling it entertaining sports drama, while others worried about team chemistry. Raleigh has been a solid teammate, and Aroza Reena has celebrated with him plenty during the season, even mimicking his signature pose. No one knows exactly what Raleigh said, and Aroza Reena's straight face style left room for doubt.
