Spring Breakin' was an annual professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion WWE as part of their NXT brand division. Since its inception in 2022, it was held annually as a television special of NXT, until its discontinuation in 2025. The event's name was a reference to it being held in the spring as all events have been held in either April or May.
