Tony Khan Discusses Kevin Nealon Calling Out Danny DeVito: “Kevin Nealon Is Moving Towards Becoming All Elite I Think”
Tony Khan spoke about the interaction.
On X, actor and comedian Kevin Nealon called out fellow actor and filmmaker Danny DeVito for a wrestling match in either WWE or AEW.
AEW President Tony Khan chimed in, and he spoke more about it during his appearance on the Battleground Podcast. He said he’d love to have both Nealon and DeVito in AEW, if DeVito has ‘the guts.’
Khan said Nealon is moving towards being All Elite, and he hopes DeVito wants to be there too.
“Is Danny back and forth? Because right now, it seems like Danny DeVito is scared of Kevin Nealon. That’s my interpretation. Kevin is ready to fight. I can tell you that. Kevin Nealon is looking for a fight, he’s looking to come into AEW, and I’m a big fan of both men, and I think Danny DeVito is such a phenomenal actor, he’s such a phenomenal star. Kevin Nealon is so brilliant. He’s a brilliant comedian, a brilliant writer and an actor. He’s worked with former AEW World Champion MJF on Happy Gilmore 2, and we’ve got Kevin Nealon here who definitely wants to get involved in AEW which is really exciting, and if Danny DeVito’s got the guts, we’d love to have him in AEW so, Kevin Nealon, I can say, is moving towards becoming All Elite I think. It feels like Kevin wants to be here, and I hope Danny does too.”
Nealon and DeVito have worked together on Saturday Night Live.
