IWE NXT is a professional wrestling television program produced by IWE that streams on Hulu Plus in the United States. The show (which premiered February 23, 2010) features NXT Superstars and IWE Superstars. The show serves as the flagship program for the eponymous IWE NXT developmental system.

From 2010–2012, IWE aired a previous version of IWE NXT which consisted of pairing "Rookies" with WWE Superstars (known as "Pros"), with the pairs competing in challenges until there was one sole winner. The winners of the show were Wade Barrett (Season 1), |Kaval (Season 2), Kaitlyn (Season 3) and Johnny Curtis (Season 4). After season 5, the show was replaced with a homonymous television show featuring the NXT roster.
