Jason Kelce Stole A Kid's Luchador Mask Partying In Vegas And Now The Kid Wants It Back
The family of a middle school Chiefs fan is calling on Jason Kelce to return their son's luchador mask that he ended up partying all night in Vegas with after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
8th grader Elijah Smith from Dallas told NBC News yesterday that he and his family saw the former Philadelphia Eagles center after the game and that's when he asked Jason to take a photo with him while wearing Elijah's custom-made Chiefs luchador wrestling mask.
"I gave him my mask, and then he dropped it and then picked it back up. Then I got a picture with him wearing it, and then I just hung out next to them for five to ten minutes, they were dancing and everything," Elijah explained.

THE MASK IS APPARENTLY LUCKY
However, because it wasn't only Las Vegas but also right after the Super Bowl of all times, the scene was obviously chaotic. Next thing you know, Elijah says Jason was nowhere to be found while still wearing his luchador mask - which the middle school student says is extremely special to him because it's "good luck" and that he's worn it for all 4 of the Chiefs Championships.
The only problem is, Jason Kelce obviously doesn't have it anymore because he was living his best partying life ever.
Yikes.
Good luck trying to find that mask days later after the Super Bowl in Las Vegas of all places!
In the words of a song title by Jason's future sister-in-law Taylor Swift, "You're on your own, kid."
ELIJAH WANTS THE MASK BACK
Photos throughout the night of the older Kelce brother showed him ROCKIN' Elijah's luchador mask for hours - something Jason even brought up during his "New Heights" podcast this week with his brother Travis.
"It didn’t start getting to the next level until I found that luchador mask. Initially, when I first got there, you were trying to get me to go up on the stage with you, and I was like, ‘Nah, I’m going to be over here. This is your guys’ time," Jason told his brother on the pod. "There’s something about finding that luchador mask that really just transformed the night," he continued.
At one point Jason even shouted out and apologized for whoever's mask he ended up dominating the dance floor with. That's nice and all Jason, but that doesn't help resolve the situation whatsoever!

WILL THE LUCHADOR MASK NOW CURSE THE CHIEFS?
I'm not a parent, but I was raised by two great ones and I know from experience that you'd think this is when they'd step in to tell their son that the mask is a goner. That apparently isn't happening as Elijah's dad is now pleading to Jason Kelce to return the mask - as if he still has it days later after THAT NIGHT of all times.
"The only thing is Jason, if you’re listening, we just need the mask back before the season starts," Elijah's dad told NBC. "It’s a lucky mask, and so the Chiefs need the luck. I’m sorry we’re not Eagles fans."
Uhh, hey Elijah's dad - I don't think Jason Kelce is purposely holding onto your son's wrestling mask.
Meanwhile, You just know that Jason heard about Elijah wanting his mask back and is just like "Ahh, crap."
But let's be honest - how GREAT would it be if somehow the Chiefs never won another Super Bowl Championship after this because Travis Kelce's brother cursed them when he lost this mask?!
