Get ready to rumble, I tell you what! In a move that has sent shockwaves through the worlds of both animation and professional wrestling, Arlen, Texas is officially coming to the WWE. That’s right, the iconic “King of the Hill” is stepping into the squared circle for a special collaboration with WWE SmackDown on August 15, 2025. This ain’t no Dale Gribble conspiracy theory; this is the real deal, and fans are buzzing with speculation about what this unlikely pairing will entail.
For those who thought the biggest fight was between Hank Hill and his narrow urethra, think again. This marketing blitz for the “King of the Hill” revival on Hulu will see the world of propane and propane accessories collide with the electrifying universe of WWE. We’re talking custom “King of the Hill” signage on the wrestling mat, digital creative throughout the arena, and even special videos from WWE Superstars Sheamus and Johnny Gargano inspired by the beloved animated series.
But what could this “King of the Hill” and WWE SmackDown collaboration actually look like? Will we see Hank Hill give a stern but fair talking to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes about the importance of a properly grilled steak? Could Bobby Hill’s love of prop comedy lead to a hilarious, and likely confusing, promo battle with one of SmackDown’s top talkers? The possibilities are as endless as one of Boomhauer’s rambling monologues.
One thing’s for sure, the WWE Universe is in for a culture clash of epic proportions. The down-to-earth, blue-collar sensibilities of “King of the Hill” are a far cry from the larger-than-life spectacle of WWE SmackDown. And that’s exactly what makes this crossover so brilliant. It’s unexpected, it’s hilarious, and it has everyone talking.
As we count down the days to August 15th, the internet is already on fire with dream scenarios. Fans are clamoring for a “Propane Nightmare” finishing move from Hank, a “Pocket Sand” attack from Dale, and a heart-wrenching ballad from a heartbroken Bill Dauterive in the middle of the ring. While we may not get all of our fan-fiction fantasies fulfilled, one thing is certain: this “King of the Hill” and WWE SmackDown collaboration is a must-see event. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of both brands and a reminder that in the world of entertainment, anything is possible. So, crack open a beer, fire up the grill, and get ready for a night of television that will be anything but, “Bwah!”
