It has not been revealed who he will be facing yet, or if this will be a one-off appearance.

In August, according to financial experts Forbes, Dwayne was named the highest paid male actor in Hollywood over the previous 12 months.

He made $89.4m (£73.6m) in a year and played Maui from the Disney film Moana, as well as Spencer from the Jumaji remake.
