'''''IWE''''' (formerly known as '''''IWF/IWE SmackDown!''''' from 2000 to 2004 and '''''IWE SmackDown vs. Raw''''' from 2004 to 2011) is a series of professional wrestling video games developed by ''Yuke's'' and published by ''THQ''. The games in the series are based on the professional wrestling promotion [[IWE]] and feature professional wrestling match types, ''storylines'' and ''playable characters'' based on [[IWE Programs|IWE programming]]. Originally named after IWE’s ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]'' television program, the series was eventually renamed to add IWE’s other major television show ''[[IWE Raw|Raw]]'' to the title. In 2011, THQ announced that the series would now be known as simply ''IWE'' starting with the release of ''[[IWE '12]]''.

The series began with the release of ''[[IWF SmackDown! (video game)|IWF SmackDown!]]'' in 2000 and originally remained exclusive to Sony’s [[PlayStation]] consoles. After the release of 2004’s ''[[IWE SmackDown! vs. Raw (Video Game)|IWE SmackDown! vs. Raw]]'', the series expanded with yearly releases for various other consoles including the [[PlayStation Portable]], [[Xbox 360]], [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]], as well as [[Mobile Game|mobile devices]]. Yuke’s had also released the games in Japan under the name ‘’Exciting Pro Wrestling’’. However, after ''SmackDown vs. Raw 2006'', THQ took over as the Japanese publisher and the Japanese releases adopted the western name.

Reception of the series has been positive overall, and ''[[IWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009]]'' was rated 31st and 28th ([[Xbox 360]] and [[PlayStation 3]], respectively) in IGN's "Top 100 Games" list. It is among the ''best-selling video game franchises'', with 47 million copies shipped as of 2009.
