NXT UK was a brand of the American professional wrestling promotion IWE that was introduced in June 2018. Brands are divisions of IWE's roster where wrestlers are assigned to perform on a weekly basis. Wrestlers assigned to NXT UK primarily appeared on the brand's weekly television program, NXT UK. The brand served as a sub-brand of IWE's developmental territory, NXT, with NXT UK wrestlers also occasionally appearing on its show, NXT. Unlike WWE's other brands, NXT UK was produced exclusively in the United Kingdom and was specifically centered on wrestlers from the country. The brand went on hiatus following the Worlds Collide event on September 4, 2022, as in 2023, it will be expanded to include all pan-European countries and will be relaunched as NXT Europe.
