List of IWE personnel
From Iwe
IWE is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut. IWE personnel consists of professional wrestlers, managers, play-by-play and color commentators, ring announcers, interviewers, referees, trainers, producers, script writers, and various other positions. Executives and board members are also listed.
IWE contracts typically range from developmental contracts to multi-year deals. IWE describes most personnel as "independent contractors." Personnel on the main roster appear on Raw, SmackDown, Tough Enough, Main Event, Superstars, and Total Divas (IWE's primary weekly television programming), on pay-per-views, and at live events.
Personnel from the NXT subdivision appear on the television series of the same name, which airs online in the U.S. and on TV in select countries and on NXT branded live events. Personnel on the main roster may also wrestle in NXT and vice versa.
Personnel are organized below by their role in IWE. Their ring name is on the left and their real name is on the right. If someone is inactive for any reason, due to injury, suspension, not appearing in more than 30 days, or otherwise, that information is noted. IWE refers to all in-ring performers as "Superstars."
