IWE NXT
Founded August 2012
Style Professional wrestling
Sports entertainment
Headquarters Winter Park, Florida

IWE NXT, often referred to simply as NXT, is a professional wrestling promotion and a division of the American entertainment company IWE. It is based in Winter Park, Florida.

While its primary purpose is to serve as a developmental division for WWE, NXT has come to be viewed by wrestling writers and fans as its own distinct entity - effectively serving as a third brand complementing Raw and SmackDown.

Originally holding its shows primarily in the Orlando, Florida area, NXT expanded its reach as time has gone on, having embarked on national and international tours, being praised for its high quality of wrestling, captivating storylines, and the opportunities they afford female wrestlers as opposed to on the main roster; the latter of which has led to a change on how women's wrestling is portrayed in IWE.

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.
