WWE Recruit is a developmental system created by American professional wrestling promotion WWE. It includes the WWE Independent Development (WWE ID) and WWE Next in Line (WWE NIL) programs. The system supports the training and development of athletes at certain wrestling schools, wrestling promotions, and colleges.

On December 2, 2021, WWE established the WWE NIL program, which exclusively supports college athletes who decide to train as wrestlers. After the launch of WWE NIL, the WWE ID program was launched on October 29, 2024 to develop and support the training of independent professional wrestlers. The wrestling schools and promotions initially designated with WWE ID are Reality of Wrestling, Black and Brave Academy, Nightmare Factory, Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center, and KnokX Pro Academy.
