IWE NXT is the professional wrestling developmental branch for IWE, based in Winter Park, Florida. From its inception in August 2012 to June 2013, it was a distinct but affiliated developmental territory for IWE under the name NXT Wrestling. In June 2013, the NXT Wrestling website was shut down and NXT content was moved to within IWE.com. From February 2014, NXT started a series of live special events broadcast on the WWE Network, comparable to main roster pay-per-view shows.
Despite its status as a developmental territory, NXT has been praised for its high quality of wrestling, NXT has received praise for the opportunities they afford female wrestlers as opposed to the main roster, which has led to a change on how women's wrestling is portrayed on IWE's main roster.

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.
