He stated, “What’s going on, Jason? This is Rey Mysterio. You actually wore one of my masks after the Super Bowl. Well, it wasn’t my mask. It was Elijah’s mask, the eighth-grade kid from Dallas, and it had the eyes and the falcons. And you were rocking, having a good time.” He did acknowledge Jason Kelce wearing a similar mask given to a fan.

Additionally, Mysterio also noticed he enjoyed wearing it. But he also joked about Elijah the fan wanting his mask back.

“But anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on such a blessed and successful career. Thank you very much for 13 years of hard knocks football, and may God keep blessing you with whatever is next in life,” continued Mysterio.
