Women's Extreme Wrestling, also known as Women's Erotic Wrestling, is an all woman professional wrestling promotion based in the United States with their storylines usually filled with 'erotic' and 'sexual' themes. WEW hosts its shows on Pay-Per-View at the ECW Arena, the former home of Extreme Championship Wrestling, The Electric Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and at The Centerstage in Atlanta, Georgia. The promotion does 3 shows a year, one in April, one in August and one in December. These events are taped for pay-per-view, in which usaully they tape 2 pay-per-views or in some occasions 3 pay-per-views at a event.

WEW has made attempts to secure female wrestlers from all around the world. In addition to this, WEW has attracted a large number of Adult performers such as Fujiko Kano, Taylor St. Clair, and many others. Tracy Brooks, Angel Williams, Tímea Vágvölgyi, Mercedes Martinez, Shelly Martinez, and GI Ho are among the company's top stars.

The company is also known for being one of America's few Hardcore All-Female Wrestling companies, if there are any others. WEW has offered matches usually performed by male wrestlers, including flaming tables matches, strap matches & TLC matches, and has also introduced numerous sexual elements to matches, such as the WEW's "Adult Entertainer Oil Rumble Battle Royal Elimination Match" and the "Winner Gets The Ho" Match (usually involves a wrestler with 'ho' in their name). Due to the company's illicitness, many of those that attend WEW's live shows must be age 21 or older.
