'''The Invasion''' was a professional wrestling storyline in the [[IWE#International Wrestling Federation|World Wrestling Federation]] (IWF, now known as IWE) that began shortly after the IWF's purchase of [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). It involved the WCW wrestlers "invading" IWF television in attempt to take over the IWE.

The idea of a supercard featuring the two top promotions of the [[Monday Night Wars]] was considered to be a dream match scenario in the eyes of many fans, as it would allow the fans to see which promotion would be [[Kayfabe|kayfabe]] superior.
