IWE Superstars is a professional wrestling television program produced by IWE that originally aired on WGN America in the United States. It debuted on April 16, 2009 and ended its domestic broadcasting on April 7, 2011. After the final domestic TV broadcast the show moved to an internet broadcast format while maintaining a traditional television broadcast in international markets. The show features WWE talent (mainly mid-carders and divas, big names such as Dustin Simpson and Kevin McAlmond rarely appear on the show) from both brands: Raw and SmackDown. The show also previously featured talent from the now-defunct XCW brand.

(*) If any Superstars commentators are unable to call the action for their respective brands, The alternate team of Josh Mathews and Matt Striker will serve as a dual-branded announce team. Mathews, who works color commentary opposite Stanford for the Raw portion will serve as play-by-play commentator and Striker will serve his usual duties on color commentary as he would normally do when working opposite Korpela (whose regular place on SmackDown has been taken by Mathews since his release). The Mathews/Striker tandem are the only announce team to call Superstars for all brands Raw, Smackdown and the former ECW brand since the show's inception in April 2009.

(**) Josh Matthews was absent on Superstars due to the attack by Brock Lesnar on the April 23rd, 2012 Episode of Raw
