The Usos are a Samoan-American professional wrestling tag team consisting of twin brothers Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso. They are signed to WWE, where Jey performs the Raw brand while Jimmy performs on the SmackDown brand. They are the three-time Raw Tag Team Champions and five-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions, making their team overall eight-time champions and holding the record for the longest male tag team championship reign in WWE history at 622 days. The Usos are members of the renowned Anoaʻi family of Samoan wrestlers.

Trained since childhood by their father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, the twin brothers Joshua and Jonathan debuted in WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2009, where they became FCW Florida Tag Team Champions, and wrestled as Jules Uso and Jimmy Uso (The Uso Brothers). They were moved to the main roster the following year. While on the main roster, they have been managed by their cousin Tamina Snuka and Jimmy's wife, Naomi.[6] From July 2021 to June 2023, they were part of The Bloodline with their real-life first cousin once removed and group leader Roman Reigns and younger brother Solo Sikoa. Jimmy left the group in June 2023, with Jey following suit two weeks later; only for Jimmy to rejoin the group in September of that year until he was excommunicated in April 2024, and was subsequently replaced by Tama Tonga.

Peers and critics have described the Usos as one of the greatest professional wrestling tag teams of all time.[7][8][9][10] They hold the record for the longest male tag team championship reign in WWE history at 622 days, which was accomplished in their fifth reign with the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship.[11] They are overall eight-time tag team champions in WWE, capturing the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship three times and winning the Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year in both 2014 and 2015. In 2017, they won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on three occasions, followed by a fourth reign in 2019 and a fifth reign in 2021. They are the first team to win both the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships and the first team to hold them simultaneously as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. In addition, The Usos have competed in the main event of several pay-per-views, including Night 1 of WrestleMania 39, which was the first time a tag team championship was defended in the main event of a WrestleMania, and the second time that a tag team match was the main event of Wrestlemania.

The Usos with Tamina in September 2010

On the May 24, 2010, episode of Raw, The Usos (with Jules now wrestling as Jey Uso) and Tamina made their debut as heels by attacking the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith, and Natalya).[30][31][32] The following week, Raw General Manager Bret Hart stated that he had signed them to contracts. That night, the trio cut a promo, stating that they were looking for respect for their families. They were interrupted and attacked by The Hart Dynasty, who were seeking revenge for the surprise attack the previous week.[33] The Usos attempted to attack The Hart Dynasty again on the June 7 episode of Raw, but The Harts were ready and gained the upper hand.[34] The Usos made their in-ring debut for the brand on the June 17 episode of Superstars, defeating Goldust and Mark Henry.[35] Three days later they made their pay-per-view debut by losing to The Hart Dynasty in a six-person mixed tag team match at Fatal 4-Way.[36] The Usos were scheduled to face The Hart Dynasty on the June 28 episode of Raw, but the match never started as The Usos instead attacked The Harts when they were entering the ring.[37] The Usos defeated The Hart Dynasty for the first time in a six-person mixed tag team match on the July 12 episode of Raw when Jey pinned Smith.[38] The Usos challenged The Harts for the Unified Tag Team Championship at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, but were unsuccessful.[39] On the July 26 episode of Raw, Jey Uso went against Randy Orton in his first singles match on the brand in a losing effort. They received another shot for the Tag Team Championship at Night of Champions in a Tag Team Turmoil match, where they eliminated both The Hart Dynasty and the team of Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella before being eliminated by Mark Henry and Evan Bourne. On the December 6 episode of Raw, The Usos were in a fatal four-way tag match and were eliminated, but Tamina stayed in the corner of Marella and Kozlov upon their winning of the WWE Tag Team Championship; as a result, she turned face and left The Usos.

On April 26, 2011, both Usos were drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2011 Supplemental Draft.[40] On the June 2 episode of Superstars, The Usos turned face when they competed against The Corre (Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater) in a losing effort.[41] Throughout June 2011, The Usos continuous to complete victories with Gabriel and Slater in tag team matches, while managing to defeat them in two six-man tag matches while partnering once with Ezekiel Jackson and once with Trent Barreta.[42] The Usos began performing the Siva Tau, a traditional Samoan war dance, as part of their ring entrance, using the dance to display their strength and energize themselves.

The Usos then began appearing on the fifth season of NXT in September 2011, by delivering post-match attacks on the team of Darren Young and JTG.[46] The Usos then went on to defeat Young and JTG on the September 27 episode of NXT Redemption. However, just like how The Usos debuted on NXT, they were attacked after their win by another debuting tag team, Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks,[47] and The Usos were defeated by Hawkins and Reks the next week. In the following months and into 2012, The Usos exchanged wins with Hawkins and Reks on NXT, while continually losing to Primo and Epico on SmackDown.[48] They also feuded with JTG, who had become Tamina's boyfriend.[49] In March 2012, The Usos began a feud with Darren Young and Titus O'Neil, after they mocked The Usos' pre-match Siva Tau.[50] Although The Usos beat Young and O'Neil in tag team matches, they were continually defeated in singles matches.[51] On the final episode of the fifth season of NXT on June 13, The Usos defeated Johnny Curtis and Michael McGillicutty.[52]

The Usos then started a feud with The Ascension (Conor O'Brian and Kenneth Cameron) on the August 15 episode of NXT, with a match between the two tag teams ending in the Ascension being disqualified; the Ascension then conducted a post-match attack on The Usos.[53] On the August 29 episode of NXT, The Usos called out the Ascension, but the Ascension ambushed The Usos and again delivered a beatdown.[54] On the September 5 episode of NXT, the Ascension defeated The Usos.[55] The Usos then teamed with Richie Steamboat to lose to The Ascension and Kassius Ohno on the October 17 episode of NXT.[56] The Usos' feud with the Ascension was cut short when Cameron was released from WWE.[57]

[edit]
The Usos in November 2013

On the June 3 episode of Raw, The Usos began to use face paint similar to their deceased uncle Eddie Fatu, also known as Umaga, as a means of further highlighting their Samoan culture.[60] During the following months, they competed for The Shield's WWE Tag Team Championship. At Money in the Bank The Usos challenged Rollins and Reigns for the titles, but were unsuccessful and participated in a triple-threat tag team match against the team of Cody Rhodes and Goldust and The Shield at the Hell in a Cell pay per view, which they failed to win.[61]

On the May 22 episode of SmackDown, The Usos attempted to earn another title match at Money in the Bank, but were defeated by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.[82] Following the loss, The Usos began failing to earn numerous title opportunities, including a tag team match against a returning Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) on the July 3 episode of SmackDown and losing in the first round of a number one contender's tournament to The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) on the July 31 episode of SmackDown.[83] After months of treading in the division, The Usos began to build momentum, starting with Survivor Series, where they, as Team SmackDown's captains, emerged from the 10-on-10 Survivor Series match as the sole survivors, giving SmackDown their only win over Raw.[84] They would go on to challenge The Bar for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a triple threat match, which also included the New Day at TLC, but failed to capture the titles.[85]

Main article: The Bloodline (professional wrestling)

On the January 3, 2020 episode of SmackDown, The Usos made a surprise return once again as part of the SmackDown brand, aiding Roman Reigns from an attack by King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler.[105] The Usos then challenged for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Elimination Chamber[106][107] and WrestleMania 36, where they were unsuccessful again.[108][109] During the match at WrestleMania, Jimmy suffered a legitimate knee injury, putting him out of in-ring action indefinitely.[110]

This marked Jey's first major singles accolade in WWE.[116]

The Usos in 2022

After Jimmy returned from injury on the May 7 episode of SmackDown, there was an initial strife between The Usos and Reigns before they all reconciled and formed a faction, with Jimmy turning heel in the process.[117][118] During the Money in the Bank Kickoff pre-show on July 18, The Usos were successful in capturing their fifth SmackDown Tag Team Championship from The Mysterios (Rey and Dominik).[119] At SummerSlam, The Usos would defeat The Mysterios in a rematch to retain the titles.[120]

On January 16, 2022, they broke their previous record of 182 days as longest reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions.[121] At WrestleMania 38, The Usos defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs to retain their championship.[122] At WrestleMania Backlash, The Usos and Reigns defeated RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) and Drew McIntyre in a six-man tag team match.[123] On the May 20 episode of SmackDown, they, with outside interference from Reigns, defeated RK-Bro to win the Raw Tag Team Championship, becoming the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. This gave The Usos their third reign as Raw Tag Team Champions (and first reign with the title since 2014) and made them the first team to hold the Raw and SmackDown titles simultaneously.[124] At Money in the Bank, The Usos retained their undisputed titles against The Street Profits in controversial fashion, with The Usos winning by pinfall despite Montez Ford's shoulder being off the mat.[125] A rematch between the teams was scheduled for SummerSlam[126] with a special guest referee, later revealed to be Jeff Jarrett.[127]

On July 18, The Usos surpassed the 365-day mark as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, becoming the first team to hold the titles for a continuous reign of one full year. At SummerSlam, The Usos successfully retained against The Street Profits.[128] At Crown Jewel on November 5, The Usos successfully retained the titles against The Brawling Brutes (Butch and Ridge Holland).[129] On the November 11 episode of SmackDown, they retained their championships against The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods), thus ensuring that they would become the longest reigning male tag team champions on WWE's main roster, a record previously set by The New Day at 483 days.[130] On November 14, 2022, The Usos officially broke The New Day's record for main roster tag team championships, and then on November 28, they broke Gallus' record of 497 days with the NXT UK Tag Team Championship to become the longest reigning male tag team champions in WWE history, regardless of championship or roster status. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 26, The Bloodline (The Usos, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn) defeated The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens in a WarGames match.[131]

Breakup and feud (2023–2024)

[edit]

Tensions between The Usos and Zayn resurfaced in subsequent weeks. After Reigns retained the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble against Kevin Owens, The Usos proceeded to beat down Owens and handcuff him to the ring ropes. After refusing to hit Owens, Zayn then hit Reigns with a steel chair, turning face. Jimmy, Sikoa and Reigns attacked Zayn whilst Jey looked on and eventually left the ring in disgust.[132] After the event, Jey declared on Instagram that "he's out"[133][134] and did not appear on the following episode of SmackDown.[135] Jey would show up on the February 10 episode of SmackDown to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Jimmy against Braun Strowman and Ricochet. Before the episode ended, Reigns, through Heyman, informed The Usos to stay at home for the following week's episode of SmackDown and Elimination Chamber in Canada.[136] This was meant to write off The Usos as they may not be able to enter Canada due to their DUI history, where DUI charges are taken more seriously there.[137] However, Jimmy would be present for the event to assist Reigns in retaining his championship, and Jey would show up to prevent Reigns from hitting Zayn with a chair, which failed.

On the March 6 episode of Raw, Jey showed up in the crowd during Jimmy's match against Zayn which Jimmy lost. Following the match, Jey hugged Zayn and then delivered a Superkick to the latter, affirming Jey's allegiance to The Bloodline. The Usos and Sikoa then attacked Zayn before Cody Rhodes ran out to save Zayn.[138] On the March 20 episode of Raw, a reunited Owens and Zayn challenged The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 39, which The Usos accepted.[139] On night one of the event on April 1, The Usos main evented WrestleMania for the first time in their careers, where they lost the titles to Owens and Zayn, thus ending their Raw reign at 316 days and their record SmackDown reign at 622 days. This match also marked the first time a tag team match main evented WrestleMania since its inaugural show.[140] The critically acclaimed match was rated five stars by Dave Meltzer and became the eighth main roster WWE match to receive five stars and the first match in The Usos' careers to receive such a rating.[141] Following their loss, Reigns started ignoring them and depending on Sikoa instead, with Reigns inserting himself and Sikoa into a title match at Night of Champions.[142] They failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in their rematch against Owens and Zayn on the April 28 episode of SmackDown.[143]

At Night of Champions, Jimmy turned face after he and Jey cost Reigns and Sikoa the match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships, with Jimmy superkicking Reigns for mistreating them.[144] Jimmy was officially excommunicated from The Bloodline for his actions at Night of Champions on the June 2 episode of SmackDown during Reigns' 1,000 days Universal Champion celebration.[145] On the June 9 episode of SmackDown, Jey was given a United States Championship opportunity against Austin Theory by Heyman to entice him to leave Jimmy, but lost the match after Jimmy while saving Jey from Pretty Deadly, mistakenly attacked Jey while aiming for Sikoa who tried to attack Jimmy.[146] On the following week's episode of SmackDown, Jey decided to side with Jimmy and left The Bloodline by kicking Reigns, turning face in the process. The Usos then superkicked both Sikoa and Reigns.[147] At Money in the Bank, The Usos defeated Reigns and Sikoa in a "Bloodline Civil War" tag team match with Jey pinning Reigns. This is Reigns' first direct pinfall loss since December 2019 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.[148][149] At SummerSlam, Jimmy appeared to have turned on Jey by pulling him out of the ring while he was trying to pin Reigns and superkicked him, allowing Reigns to defeat Jey.[150] However, on the August 11 episode of SmackDown, he explained that the reason for his actions was out of fear that if Jey had become the new Tribal Chief, the power would have corrupted him. Jey responded by superkicking Reigns, Sikoa, and finally Jimmy. Afterwards, he declared that he was quitting WWE.[151] A few weeks later, Jimmy returned on the September 1 episode of SmackDown with a new theme song,[152] while Jey moved to Raw the next night at Payback with the remixed version of its former entrance theme, thus disbanding The Usos.[153]

Despite being disbanded, the brothers began a long-intense feud. After Jey won the Undisputed Tag Team Championships with Cody Rhodes at Fastlane, they went on to retain their titles against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and Austin Theory and Grayson Waller on the following week's episodes of Raw and SmackDown, with the latter being known as Jey and Rhodes confronted Jimmy and Sikoa after Roman Reigns' entrance music plays in a faceoff. However, they lost the titles back to Bálor and Priest in a rematch on the October 16 episode of Raw thanks to interference from Jimmy, ending their reign at 9 days. This, however, gave Jey the distinction of holding the SmackDown Tag Team Championship for the most cumulative days across his six reigns at 1,011 days (1,010 days as recognized by WWE).[154] After Jimmy attempted to attack John Cena with Solo Sikoa on the October 20 episode of SmackDown, the hooded figure, a similar tactic that happened in SummerSlam, who pulled Jimmy, was revealed to be Jey. They brawled each other before Jey was given a fine by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and was ejected from the arena along with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.[155] At Royal Rumble, on January 27, 2024, The Usos faced each other for the first time in the Royal Rumble match, with Jey and Jimmy being the first and second entrants respectively.[156][157]

On the February 19 episode of Raw, Jimmy cost Jey a match for the Intercontinental Championship and attacked him after the match.[158] Fed up with his brother's actions, Jey challenged Jimmy to a match at WrestleMania XL on the March 11 episode of Raw,[159] which Jimmy accepted on that week's SmackDown. At Night 1 of Wrestlemania XL, Jey defeated Jimmy after Jimmy had pretended to apologize to Jey for his actions, in which Jey initially accepted which led to the brothers hugging in the ring during the match before Jimmy superkicked Jey, deceiving him in the process and trying to win the match for himself, but being unsuccessful in doing so.[160] On the following episode of SmackDown, Jimmy was exiled from The Bloodline once more after he was attacked by the debuting Tama Tonga, which would allow Jimmy to recover from his injury.[161][162]

Reunion (2024–present)

[edit]

On the October 14 episode of Raw, Jimmy attempted to make amends with Jey, but was pushed away.[163] On the October 25 episode of SmackDown, Jey assisted Jimmy and Reigns in taking out The Bloodline - now led by Sikoa who consisted of Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, the brothers then embraced in the ring, reuniting The Usos. On the November 1 episode of SmackDown, Jey agreed to team with Reigns and Jimmy against The Bloodline at Crown Jewel, but only if Reigns treated him as an equal rather than a lackey, which Roman agreed to by saying Jey's trademark catchphrase "Yeet". The trio then threw up the ones, a pose made famous during their tenure in The Bloodline.[164] At Crown Jewel on November 2, The Usos and Reigns lost to Sikoa, Tonga and Fatu in a Six-Man Tag Team match with Reigns being pinned by Sikoa.[165] Despite the reunion, the twins maintain their separate identities and entrance themes. At Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30, Jey, Jimmy, Reigns, Sami Zayn and CM Punk defeated The Bloodline and Bronson Reed in a WarGames match.[166] The next month, The Usos then renewed a feud with Drew McIntyre which led him to attack The Usos in two separate shows.[167]

Other media

[edit]

The pair starred in the first episode of Outside the Ring, where they cooked a traditional Samoan barbecue.[168]

Together, The Usos made their video game debut in WWE '13 as a DLC.[169] The Usos were not in WWE 2K14 but returned in WWE 2K15, and have continued to appear in WWE 2K16, WWE 2K17, WWE 2K18, WWE 2K19, WWE 2K20, WWE 2K22, and WWE 2K23. They also appeared uncredited in Countdown with Dolph Ziggler, Roman Reigns, and Big Show, as well as the animated film The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, which they play a role as Usobots, remaining in the same role.

Jimmy was regularly featured in the reality television series Total Divas due to his marriage with Total Divas star Naomi. Jey has also made brief appearances. Jimmy has also appeared in his wife's music video for her song "Dance All Night", which was put on WWE's YouTube channel.

The brothers are regularly featured on Xavier Woods' YouTube channel UpUpDownDown, where Jimmy goes by the nickname 'Uce' and Jey goes by the nickname 'Jucey'. In May 2019, Jimmy unsuccessfully challenged Kofi Kingston in a game of ClayFighter for Kingston's UpUpDownDown Championship.[170] A month later, Jey challenged Kingston for the title in a game of Tetris, where Jey defeated Kingston to win the championship.[171] Jimmy would then defeat Jey in a two-out-of-three game of The King of Fighters XIV to win the championship.[172] He lost the title to Samoa Joe in a game of World Heroes.[173]

After being named the number one contender for the WWE Universal Championship in September 2020, Jey Uso was featured on an episode of the WWE Network mini documentary series WWE Chronicle.

Personal lives

[edit]

The Fatu brothers are of Samoan descent. As the sons of WWE Hall of Famer Solofa Fatu Jr. (Rikishi), they are also part of the Anoaʻi family; they are first cousins once-removed from current and former WWE performers Afa Anoaʻi Jr. (Manu), Samula Anoaʻi (Samu), the late Matt Anoaʻi (Rosey), Joe Anoaʻi (Roman Reigns), Sean Maluta, the late WWE Hall of Famer Rodney Anoaʻi (Yokozuna), Lloyd Anoaʻi (L.A Smooth), Lance Anoaʻi, and Jacob Fatu. They are also the nephews of Sam Fatu (The Tonga Kid), the late Eddie Fatu (Umaga), as well as the late Afa and Sika Anoaʻi. Their brother, Joseph "Sefa" Fatu, also performs in WWE under the ring name Solo Sikoa; he has performed in NXT 2.0 and made his main roster debut on Clash at the Castle on September 3, 2022.[30] They are also related through a blood brotherhood between their great-grandfather Reverend Amituana'i Anoaʻi, Pita (Peter) Maivia, James (Jimmy) Snuka, James Reiher-Snuka (Deuce) Sarona Snuka Polamalu (Tamina), and Dwayne Johnson (The Rock). Their stage name "uso" means "brother" in the Samoan language. From 2011 to 2016, they performed the Samoan Siva Tau before their matches.

Jonathan married fellow wrestler and longtime girlfriend Trinity McCray (Naomi) on January 16, 2014. She is also the stepmother of Jonathan's two children, Jayla and Jaidan.[174]

Joshua married his wife Takecia Travis in 2015. They have two sons together.[175]

[edit]

Jonathan Fatu was arrested on September 29, 2011, in Hillsborough County, Florida and charged with DUI. A police officer observed Fatu at around 3 AM EDT driving the wrong way down a one way street. The officer pulled Fatu over and gave him a field sobriety test, which Fatu failed. Fatu was also given a breathalyzer and blew a .18, twice the legal limit in the state of Florida. Fatu was convicted and sentenced to probation. On March 13, 2013, Fatu was arrested for violating his probation by driving with a suspended license.[176]

Joshua Fatu was arrested in January 2018 for DWI in Hidalgo County, Texas after performing at a WWE live event held at Hidalgo's Payne Arena. He was released the same day after posting a $500 personal recognizance bond.[177]

On February 14, 2019, Jonathan Fatu was arrested in Detroit, Michigan following a dispute with police officers when he, Joshua, and Trinity Fatu's Dodge Journey rental vehicle were pulled over when driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Police claim that when they approached the vehicle, they could smell alcohol from the inside. Officers then requested Trinity, the driver, to exit the SUV so that they could speak with her. Officers then claimed that Jonathan Fatu, Trinity's spouse, exited the vehicle while officers were speaking to Trinity and removed his shirt, then proceeded to walk towards the officers, prompting one of the officers to pull out his taser. The situation was quickly calmed down, however, and Fatu was placed under arrest and charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice.[178] In March 2019, it was revealed that Fatu's attorney struck a plea deal with prosecutors, and as per the condition of the agreement, Fatu pleaded no contest to interfering with a government employee and he was ordered to pay a $450 fine.[179]

In the early morning hours of July 25, 2019, Jonathan Fatu was again arrested, this time near Pensacola, Florida, and was charged with DUI. He was taken into custody and booked into the Escambia County corrections center at approximately 3:00 A.M. CDT.[180] Fatu was later released from custody on $1,000 bond and was due to appear in court on August 15.[181] Fatu was found not guilty by an Escambia county jury on the DUI charge after a trial that concluded on December 18, 2019.[182]

On July 5, 2021, Jonathan Fatu was arrested after being pulled over at approximately 10:35 PM CDT in Pensacola. Officers claim Fatu ran a red light after they clocked him going 50 in a 35 MPH zone. They administered a breathalyzer and Fatu's BAC came back at .202 and .205, well above Florida's legal limit of .08. Fatu was booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge along with citations for speeding and running a red light. Bond was set at $500.[183]

As a result of the charges, both brothers have been generally barred from entering Canada; they were given special permission to enter the country in February 2023 for the Elimination Chamber event in Montreal. The brothers were also barred from entering Wales for Clash at the Castle (2022), which eventually led to the main roster debut of their brother, Solo Sikoa.[184][185]
