Joe Seanoa, as he's known outside the ring, will play the body of Sweet Tooth, while Arnett will be providing voice overs.

As reported by Deadline, the WWE US Champion and TNA World Heavyweight Champion will be joining the likes of Neve Campbell – who will play Raven, and Thomas Haden Church, who has been lined up to play Agent Stone.

However, based on the reporting, it seems that the show might be trying to embrace the misconception and change the name of the character to Sweet Tooth. Of course, we'll only know for sure once the show streams on NBC Peacock sometime next year.
