* Walk-in, a run-in by an injured wrestler. A joke term devised for Kevin Nash's slowness in getting to the ring during a run-in.

* Work, a staged event, from the carnival tradition of "working the crowd".
* Worker, a wrestler.
* Worked Shoot, a scripted segment that takes place in a show with elements of reality being exposed. Also a segment that fans are meant to believe is a shoot, but isn't.
