NXT WarGames (originally known as NXT TakeOver: WarGames) was a professional wrestling event produced annually by WWE, a Connecticut-based professional wrestling promotion. Held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental territory NXT, it was broadcast live and available only through pay-per-view (PPV) and the livestreaming services Peacock and the WWE Network. The event was originally established in 2017 and held under the NXT TakeOver series. In September 2021, WWE discontinued the TakeOver series with the 2021 WarGames being NXT's first major event held following TakeOver's discontinuation.
The event centered on the WarGames match, which was created by Dusty Rhodes in 1987. The WarGames match is a type of steel cage match, except there are two rings positioned right next to each other, and the roofless cage surrounds both rings. While originally only contested by men, the first women's version of the match occurred at the 2019 event. The main event of each WarGames event was contested as a WarGames match.
From 2017 to 2019, the event was held in November as a support show for Survivor Series, but it was moved to December in 2020. The 2021 event was NXT's last major event to air on traditional PPV, as in 2022, WWE shifted to only broadcasting NXT's major events via the livestreaming platforms. The 2021 event was also the final NXT WarGames event, as the match concept was moved to the main roster as part of the 2022 Survivor Series, with the NXT WarGames event being replaced by NXT Deadline.
