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.
