Danny DeVito revitalized his acting career on the comedy series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

DeVito, who plays Frank Reynolds on the show, entered the squared circle as the “Trash Man.” He explained in the episode that his gimmick was that he enters the ring with a trashcan, throws trash in the ring and eats garbage before bashing his opponent in the head with the can.

There’s a slim possibility that the “Trash Man” could come to life.

Comedian Kevin Nealon challenged DeVito to a match in either WWE or All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

“I challenge Danny DeVito to a match in the WWE or AEW,” Nealon wrote on X.

He followed up after a few hours, “I’m here. You’re quiet.”

In the midst of the social media posts, AEW CEO Tony Khan appeared to have an interest in booking the match.

“Do you guys own these outfits,” Khan wrote on X with a photo of Nealon and DeVito in the “Hans and Franz” skit on “Saturday Night Live.”

Nealon responded that he did have the outfits.

“Then you guys are in,” Khan responded.

For what it’s worth, a Reddit user pointed out recently that AEW star Chris Jericho appeared to be using Nealon’s “Mr. Subliminal” character from the comedy sketch show in his own way. If a match is set up, everything will soon come full circle.
