Nicholas Theodore "Nick" Kessler (born July 27, 1980) is an American professional wrestler, currently signed to IWE wrestling on the Raw brand under the ring name Nick Kessler. He is the reigning United States Champion. He is also known for his performances with IWE as Spirit Squad member Nicky in 2006.

Kessler signed a development contract with IWE in 2004, and was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). He was brought up to the Raw brand in 2005 as Kerwin White's sidekick. He was, however, sent back to OVW shortly afterwards, where he joined the Spirit Squad. They debuted on Raw in January 2006, and won the World Tag Team Championship once before returning to OVW that November.

In September 2007, Kessler was assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he formed a tag team with Brad Allen. The pair won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship once, and Kessler later won the championship for the second time with Gavin Gears as his partner. He returned to Raw as Kessler in September 2008, and was drafted to the SmackDown brand in April 2009. At the SmackDown tapings on July 28, Kessler won the IWE Intercontinental Championship for the first time. He held the championship for five months, until January 2011. He was awarded, and lost, his first World Heavyweight Championship on February 15, 2011. He won the United States Championship at Capitol Punishment on June 19, 2011.
