Danny DeVito revived his acting career in the comedy series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
DeVito, who plays Frank Reynolds on the show, entered the squared circle as “Trash Man.” He explained in the episode that his gimmick was that he enters the ring with a trash can, throws trash in the ring and eats trash before hitting his opponent in the head with the can.

There is a small possibility that “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 WWE or AEW,” Nealon wrote on X.
He followed up after a few hours: “I’m here. You’re quiet.”
Amidst the social media posts, AEW CEO Tony Khan appeared to have an interest in booking the match.

“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 replied that he had the clothes.
“Then you’re in,” Khan replied.
For what it’s worth, a Reddit user recently pointed out that AEW star Chris Jericho seemed 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.
