Joshua Samuel Fatu (born August 22, 1985) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Jey Uso. He is one half the tag team The Usos with brother Jimmy Uso. He is a member of the Anoaʻi family of Samoan professional wrestlers.

Trained since childhood by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Fatu debuted in 2008, before joining WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2010, and wrestled as Jules Uso alongside his twin brother, Jimmy, as The Usos, where they became FCW Florida Tag Team Champions. They were moved to the main roster later that year. While on the main roster, they have been managed by their cousin Tamina Snuka, and Jimmy's wife, Naomi.[7] From July 2021 to June 2023, he was part of the villainous stable The Bloodline with his first cousin once removed and group leader Roman Reigns and his brothers Jimmy and Solo Sikoa.

During his time as part of The Usos, Fatu won the award of holding 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.[8] 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.

As a singles professional wrestler, Fatu has won the 2020 Feud of the Year category for his feud with Roman Reigns by the CBS Sports and has won the 2021 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.[9][10] He would later win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with Cody Rhodes, marking his fourth reign with the Raw Tag Team Championship and sixth reign with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. In September 2024, he won WWE's Intercontinental Championship, his first singles title of his career.

Early life

[edit]

Joshua Samuel Fatu was born in San Francisco, California on August 22, 1985, nine minutes after his twin brother Jonathan Solofa, to parents Talisua Fuavai and professional wrestler Solofa Fatu Jr.[1] He is of Samoan descent and is a member of the Anoaʻi family.[11][12] He attended Escambia High School in Pensacola, Florida, where he played competitive football. He continued his football career at University of West Alabama from 2003 to 2005, where he played linebacker.[13]

Football career

[edit]

Fatu attended and played linebacker for the University of West Alabama. Prior to the 2005 season, UWA head football coach Sam McCorkle cited in a Tuscaloosa News article that Fatu would be one of the players to watch. McCorkle hopes Josh Fatu, who was previously sat out for academic reasons, along with another linebacker, Kidane McBride, who was transferred from Tennessee-Martin, to help provide shots on defense. Unfortunately, the season didn't go as Fatu hoped it would.[13][14]

Realizing his football career was not heading down a desirable path, Fatu and his brother Jonathan decided to join his father Solofa (Rikishi) and uncle, Eddie (Umaga) in the wrestling business.[13]

On March 13, The Usos defeated The Fortunate Sons (Joe Hennig and Brett DiBiase) to win the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.[19][20][21] They made their first successful title defense at the March 18 television tapings against The Dudebusters (Trent Baretta and Caylen Croft).[22] They went on to successfully defend the championship against Percy Watson and Darren Young, Hunico and Tito Nieves, Skip Sheffield and Darren Young, and The Dudebusters, who they defeated by disqualification when Tamina pulled the referee out of the ring to stop him from counting the pinfall.[23][24][25][26] On June 3, The Usos lost the Florida Tag Team Championship to "Los Aviadores" (Hunico and Dos Equis).[19][27]

The early beginnings as The Usos (2010–2016)

[edit]

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).[28][29] 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.[30] The Usos attempted to attack The Hart Dynasty again on the June 7 episode of Raw, but The Harts gained the upper hand.[31] The Usos made their in-ring debut for the brand on the June 17 episode of Superstars, defeating Goldust and Mark Henry.[32] 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.[33] 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.[34] 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.[35] The Usos challenged The Harts for the Unified Tag Team Championship at Money in the Bank on July 18, but were unsuccessful.[36] On the July 26 episode of Raw, Jey Uso faced Randy Orton in his first singles match on the brand in a losing effort. They received another shot for the Tag Team Championship on September 19 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.[37] 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.[38] During this time, 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; they performed this entrance until their heel turn in 2016.[39][40] On the July 29 episode of SmackDown, The Usos challenged David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty for the WWE Tag Team Titles, but were defeated.[41]

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.[42] 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,[43] and The Usos lost to 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.[44] They also feuded with JTG, who had become Tamina's boyfriend.[45] In March 2012, The Usos began a feud with Darren Young and Titus O'Neil, after they mocked The Usos' pre-match Siva Tau.[46] Although The Usos beat Young and O'Neil in tag team matches, they were continually defeated in singles matches.[47] 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.[48] On the September 5 episode of NXT, the Ascension defeated The Usos.[49] The Usos then teamed with Richie Steamboat to lose to The Ascension and Kassius Ohno on the October 17 episode of NXT.[50] The Usos' feud with the Ascension was cut short when Cameron was released from WWE.[51]

On April 1 at WrestleMania XXVIII, The Usos unsuccessfully challenged for the WWE Tag Team Championship in a triple threat dark match against champions Primo and Epico and Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel when the defending champions retained their titles.[52] At No Way Out on June 17, The Usos faced Primo and Epico, Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd, and The Prime Time Players in a Fatal-4-Way tag team match to determine the Number 1 contenders for the WWE Tag Team Champions and were unsuccessful.[53] On the July 16 episode of Raw, The Usos made an appearance dancing with their father, Rikishi, after Rikishi made a "Blast from the Past" return defeating Heath Slater.[52] On the September 7 episode of SmackDown, The Usos were unsuccessful in winning a triple threat tag team match for number one contendership for the WWE Tag Team titles against The Prime Time Players, and Primo and Epico.

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.[54] At Money in the Bank on July 14, The Usos challenged The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) for the titles in a losing effort. On October 27, they participated in a triple-threat tag team match against the team of Cody Rhodes and Goldust and The Shield at Hell in a Cell, but lost.[55] The Usos were involved in the traditional Survivor Series elimination match at Survivor Series on November 24, teaming with Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes and Goldust in a losing effort against The Real Americans and The Shield.

At the beginning of 2014, The Usos would go on a winning streak and began to demand a Tag Team Championship match from The New Age Outlaws. They received their title shot at Elimination Chamber on February 23, but were once again unsuccessful. On the March 3 episode of Raw, The Usos defeated the Outlaws to win the titles. At the WrestleMania XXX pre-show on April 6, The Usos successfully defended their titles in a fatal four-way elimination match against Ryback and Curtis Axel, The Real Americans, and Los Matadores. The Usos then feuded with The Wyatt Family, successfully retaining the championships against Harper and Rowan on June 29 at Money in the Bank and in a two-out-of-three falls match at Battleground on July 20. The Usos dropped the titles to Goldust and Stardust at Night of Champions on September 21, ending their reign at 202 days.[56]

On the December 29 episode of Raw, The Usos recaptured the titles from The Miz and Damien Mizdow after feuding with them over Naomi's entertainment opportunities. However, they lost the titles at Fastlane on February 22 against Tyson Kidd and Cesaro.[57] In a rematch the next night on Raw, The Usos failed to regain the titles due to Natalya interfering for a disqualification victory. At the March 9 SmackDown tapings, Jey Uso suffered a legitimate shoulder injury. At the WrestleMania 31 pre-show on March 29, they competed in a fatal-four-way tag team match, which they lost and Jey further injured his shoulder.

After Jey suffered an anterior shoulder dislocation on the left arm, he remained off WWE television for about six months. He returned on the November 2 episode of Raw alongside his brother Jimmy as a surprise return to team up with their cousin Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Ryback against Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and The New Day in a Survivor Series elimination tag team match, The Usos along with Reigns, Ambrose and Ryback were victorious in the match. On the November 30 episode of Raw, The Usos competed in a tag team #1 contenders match against Lucha Dragons, which ended in a double disqualification when The New Day attacked both teams. Later that night, Stephanie McMahon told The Usos that they would be inserted to the tag team championship match at the TLC pay-per-view if Roman Reigns defeated Sheamus during the main event of the show in 5 minutes and 15 seconds, which he won by disqualification. At TLC on December 13, The Usos competed in a losing effort. The Usos won a Slammy Award on the December 21 episode of Raw for "Tag Team of the year".

At the Royal Rumble on January 24, 2016, The Usos unsuccessfully challenged The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championship. In February, The Usos entered a feud with the Dudley Boyz after they put The Usos through tables after defeating The New Day and Mark Henry in an 8-man tag team tables match. On April 3, at the WrestleMania 32 kickoff show, The Usos defeated The Dudley Boyz, but the next night on Raw, they were defeated by the Dudleys in a tables match. On the April 11 episode of Raw, The Usos defeated The Social Outcasts in the first round of a tag team tournament. Following the match, they were attacked by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. The following week on Raw, The Usos lost to The Vaudevillains in the semi-final round.[58] On the May 2 episode of Raw, The Usos and Roman Reigns lost to AJ Styles, Gallows and Anderson in a six-man tag team match after Styles pinned Jey. At Extreme Rules on May 22, The Usos lost to Gallows and Anderson in a Texas Tornado match, but helped Reigns retain his title in the main event.

Tag team dominance (2016–2020)

[edit]

On July 19, during the 2016 WWE draft, The Usos were drafted to SmackDown working on both the Battleground and SummerSlam pre-shows. Then, they entered an 8 tag team tournament to determine the inaugural holders of the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. On the September 6 episode of SmackDown, The Usos turned heel for the first time since 2011 when they attacked American Alpha after losing to them in 28 seconds in the semi-finals. At Backlash on September 11, The Usos defeated the Hype Bros before facing Heath Slater and Rhyno in the tournament finals, where they were defeated. On October 9, The Usos faced the new champions at No Mercy, but were again defeated. As part of their heel turn, they began a street-like, thuggish gimmick. The Usos participated in a 5–on–5 Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination match at Survivor Series on November 20, where they lost to Cesaro and Sheamus of Team Raw.[59] The Usos would reignite their feud with American Alpha following Elimination Chamber on February 12, after they attacked American Alpha.

On the March 21, 2017, episode of SmackDown, The Usos defeated American Alpha to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, becoming the first team to have won both the Raw (formerly WWE Tag Team Championship) and SmackDown Tag Team Championship.[60] On the April 11 episode of SmackDown Live, The Usos were successful in their first title defense by defeating American Alpha in a rematch, ending the feud.[61] They retained the titles at Backlash on May 21 against Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango)[62] and Money in the Bank on June 18 against The New Day,[63] but lost them at Battleground on June 23 to The New Day, ending their 124-day reign.[64] On August 20 at the SummerSlam pre-show, The Usos defeated The New Day to recapture the titles.[65] Their reign ended on the September 12 episode of SmackDown Live after they lost to The New Day in a Sin City Street Fight,[66] but regained the titles on October 8 at Hell in a Cell.[67] Two days later on SmackDown Live, The Usos claimed that they had respect for The New Day, turning into fan favorites again.[68]

At Survivor Series on November 19, they defeated Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus in an interbrand Champion vs Champion match.[69] At Clash of Champions on December 17, The Usos retained the titles in a fatal four-way tag team match against Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin, The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) and Rusev and Aiden English.[70] At Royal Rumble on January 28, 2018, The Usos retained the titles against Gable and Benjamin in a two out of three falls match, winning 2–0.[71] They would renew their rivalry with the New Day, culminating in a title match at Fastlane on March 11, which would end in a no-contest due to interference from The Bludgeon Brothers.[72] At WrestleMania 34 on April 8, The Usos wrestled on the main card of WrestleMania for the first time, where they defended the titles against The New Day and The Bludgeon Brothers in a triple threat tag team match. The Usos dropped the belts to The Bludgeon Brothers after Harper pinned Kofi Kingston, ending their reign at 182 days and setting a record for the longest SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign.[73] On the SmackDown after WrestleMania, The Usos would defeat the New Day to earn a rematch against the Bludgeon Brothers for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship at the Greatest Royal Rumble.[74] At the event on April 27, The Usos were defeated when Rowan pinned Jey Uso.[75]

The Usos as SmackDown Tag Team Champions at WrestleMania 34

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.[76] 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.[77] After months of treading in the division, The Usos began to build momentum, starting with Survivor Series on November 18, 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.[78] 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 on December 16, but failed to capture the titles.[79]

On the January 29, 2019, episode of SmackDown, they defeated The Bar, The New Day and new SmackDown tag team Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker) to get a SmackDown Tag Team Championship match at Elimination Chamber on February 17,[80] where they defeated Shane McMahon and The Miz to win the titles for a record fourth time.[81] On the March 26 episode of SmackDown, The Usos were a part of a tag team gauntlet match in which they forfeited to former longtime rivals the New Day as a show of respect and to help Kofi Kingston earn a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.[82] As a storyline punishment for their deed, they were scheduled to defend the titles against The Bar, Aleister Black and Ricochet, and Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev in a Fatal 4-Way at WrestleMania 35 on April 7,[83] which they won.[84] Two days later on SmackDown, The Usos lost the titles to Hardy Boyz.[85]

As part of the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up, The Usos were drafted to the Raw brand.[86] They entered a feud with The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) on Raw, while also entering a feud with Daniel Bryan and Rowan on SmackDown, thanks to WWE's new Wild Card Rule.[87][88] On the May 7 episode of SmackDown Live, they failed to regain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship from Bryan and Rowan.[89] At Money in the Bank on May 19, they defeated Bryan and Rowan in a non-title match.[90][91] They continued their feud with The Revival, where the two teams traded victories with one another.[92][93] On the June 10 episode of Raw, both The Usos and The Revival competed in a triple threat match for the Raw Tag Team Championship against champions Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, which The Revival won.[94] On July 14 at Extreme Rules, The Usos challenged The Revival for the titles, where they were unsuccessful.[95][96] Following Jimmy's arrest for DUI, the duo would be off television for the remainder of the calendar year.[97][98]

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.[99] The Usos then challenged for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Elimination Chamber on March 8[100][101] and WrestleMania 36 on April 4, where they were unsuccessful again.[102][103] During the match at WrestleMania, Jimmy suffered a legitimate knee injury, putting him out of in-ring action indefinitely.[104]

The Bloodline (2020–2023)

[edit]
Main article: The Bloodline

On the September 4 episode of SmackDown, after Big E was attacked and injured in a storyline, Uso took Big E's place in a fatal 4-way match against Matt Riddle, King Corbin, and Sheamus where the winner would earn a Universal Championship match at Clash of Champions against Roman Reigns, who turned heel recently. He won by pinning Riddle to earn the first singles championship opportunity of his career.[105] On September 27, he was defeated at Clash of Champions when Jimmy appeared and threw in a towel on Jey's behalf. Uso then received a rematch on October 25 at Hell in a Cell in an "I Quit" Hell in a Cell match, but lost again.[106][107][108] After Hell in a Cell, he aligned with Roman Reigns, thus turning heel in the process.[109] On the April 9, 2021, special WrestleMania edition of SmackDown, he won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. This marked Uso's first major singles accolade in WWE.[10]

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.[110][111] 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).[112] At SummerSlam on August 21, The Usos would defeat The Mysterios in a rematch to retain the titles.[113]

On January 16, 2022, they broke their previous record of 185 days as longest reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions.[114] At Night 1 of WrestleMania 38 on April 2, The Usos defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs to retain their championships.[115] At WrestleMania Backlash on May 8, The Usos and Reigns defeated RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) and Drew McIntyre in a six-man tag team match.[116] 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.[117] At Money in the Bank on July 2, 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.[118] A rematch between the teams was scheduled for SummerSlam[119] with a special guest referee, later revealed to be Jeff Jarrett.[120]

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 on July 30, The Usos successfully retained against The Street Profits.[121] At Crown Jewel on November 5, The Usos successfully retained the titles against The Brawling Brutes (Butch and Ridge Holland).[122] 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.[123] 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.[124]

Tensions between The Usos and Sami Zayn resurfaced in subsequent weeks. After Reigns retained the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble against Kevin Owens on January 28, 2023, 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.[125] After the event, Uso declared on Instagram that "he's out"[126] and did not appear on the following episode of SmackDown.[127] He 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.[128] This was meant to write off The Usos as they may not be able to enter Canada due to their DUI history.[129] However, Jimmy was present for the event on February 18, assisting Reigns in retaining his championship, and Jey would show up to unsuccessfully prevent Reigns from hitting Zayn with a chair.

On the March 6 episode of Raw, Uso showed up in the crowd during Jimmy's match against Zayn, which Jimmy lost. Following the match, he hugged Zayn and then delivered a Superkick to the latter, affirming his allegiance to The Bloodline. The Usos and Sikoa then attacked Zayn before Cody Rhodes ran out to save Zayn.[130] 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.[131] At Night 1 of WrestleMania 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.[132] The 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.[133] Following their loss, Reigns started ignoring them and began depending more on Sikoa instead, with Reigns inserting himself and Sikoa into a title match at Night of Champions.[134] They failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in their rematch against Owens and Zayn on the April 28 episode of SmackDown.[135]

Singles competition (2023–2024)

[edit]
Uso in March 2024

At Night of Champions on May 27, 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.[136] 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.[137] 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. He lost the match after Jimmy, who was saving Jey from Pretty Deadly, mistakenly attacked Jey while aiming for Sikoa, who tried to attack Jimmy.[138] On the following episode of SmackDown, Jey sided with Jimmy and left The Bloodline by kicking Reigns, turning face for the first time since 2020. The Usos then superkicked both Sikoa and Reigns.[139] On July 1 at Money in the Bank, The Usos defeated Reigns and Sikoa in a "Bloodline Civil War" tag team match after Jey pinned Reigns, giving him his first direct pinfall loss since December 2019 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.[140]

On August 5 at SummerSlam, Uso faced Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Tribal Combat match. Uso attempted to pin Reigns during the closing moments of the match, but Jimmy appeared to have turned on Jey by pulling him out of the ring and superkicked him, allowing Reigns to win.[141] 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. Uso responded by superkicking Reigns, Sikoa, and finally Jimmy. Afterwards, he declared that he was quitting WWE.[142] Uso returned at Payback on September 2, appearing on The Grayson Waller Effect with Cody Rhodes announcing that he would be switching brands from SmackDown to Raw.[143]

After joining the Raw brand, Uso received an offer from The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley) to join their ranks. On the September 18 episode of Raw, he declined the offer, attacking Bálor, Priest, and Mysterio before losing a match to Drew McIntyre. After the match, Bálor, Priest, and Mysterio attacked Uso, with McIntyre refusing to help or accept him due to his past with The Bloodline, before Rhodes came to save him. At Fastlane on October 7, Uso and Rhodes defeated Bálor and Priest to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. He became the first person to have twice held the tag team championships as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. Individually under the Undisputed title, this marked his fourth reign with the Raw Tag Team Championship and sixth reign with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.[144] This also marked the first time Uso won a WWE tag team championship without his brother Jimmy. Uso and Rhodes 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. However, they lost the titles back to Bálor and Priest in a rematch on the October 16 episode of Raw after interference from Jimmy, ending their reign at 9 days. This, however, gave him 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).[145] Uso and Rhodes failed to regain the titles from Bálor and Priest after interference from McIntyre, who quickly revealed afterward that he'd accepted Rhea Ripley's offer to align with The Judgment Day for Survivor Series: WarGames in order to punish Uso. At the event on November 25, Uso, Rhodes, Zayn, Seth "Freakin" Rollins and the returning Randy Orton defeated McIntyre and The Judgment Day (Priest, Bálor, Mysterio, and JD McDonagh) in a WarGames match.[146] On the December 4 episode of Raw, Uso unsuccessfully challenged Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.[147] At the Royal Rumble on January 27, Uso entered the Royal Rumble match at number 1 lasting 50 minutes eliminating JD McDonagh before being eliminated by Gunther.[148]

At Night 1 of WrestleMania XL on April 6, Uso defeated his brother Jimmy via pinfall.[149] The following night, Uso interfered in the main event between Reigns and Cody Rhodes, attacking Jimmy and spearing him through a table at the entrance ramp. The next night on Raw, Uso won a fatal four-way match to become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship for Backlash France.[150] At the event on May 4, he failed to win the title from Priest after interference from JD McDonagh and Finn Bálor.[151] Two nights later on Raw, he replaced an injured Drew McIntyre in the King of the Ring tournament, defeating Finn Bálor in the first round,[152] and Ilja Dragunov to advance to the semifinals of the tournament,[153] where he lost to Gunther.[154] On the June 17 episode of Raw, Uso defeated Rey Mysterio and Finn Bálor to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match at Money in the Bank.[155] At the event on July 6, he failed to retrieve the briefcase as it was won by Drew McIntyre.[156] On the September 9 episode of Raw, Uso defeated Pete Dunne, Ilja Dragunov, and Braun Strowman in a fatal four-way match to become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.[157] On the September 23 episode of Raw, Uso defeated Bron Breakker to win the title, his first singles championship in his wrestling career. Additionally, he and his father Rikishi became only the second father-son duo to become Intercontinental Champion, following Mr. Perfect and his son Curtis Axel.[158] On the October 7 episode of Raw, Uso defeated Xavier Woods to retain his title in his first title defense. After the match, Uso was attacked by Breakker.[159]

Reunion with Jimmy (2024–present)

[edit]

On the October 14 episode of Raw, Uso was confronted by his brother Jimmy, who attempted to make amends, which Uso refused.[160] On Raw the following week, Uso lost the Intercontinental Championship back to Breakker after interference from the Bloodline (now consisting of Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu), ending his reign at 28 days.[161] On the October 25 episode of SmackDown, Uso assisted Jimmy and Roman Reigns in taking out The Bloodline, the two brothers then embraced in the ring, reuniting The Usos.[162] On the November 1 episode of SmackDown, Uso agreed to team with Reigns and Jimmy against The Bloodline at Crown Jewel, but only if Roman treated him as an equal rather than a lackey, which Reigns 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.[163] At the event on November 2, The Usos and Reigns lost to Sikoa, Tonga and Fatu in a Six-Man Tag Team match with Sikoa pinning Reigns.[164]

Other media

[edit]

He starred in the first episode of Outside the Ring, where he and his brother, Jimmy Uso cooked a traditional Samoan barbecue.[165]

Jey made his video game debut in WWE '13 as a DLC.[166] 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, WWE 2K23 and WWE 2K24. He also appeared uncredited in Countdown with Dolph Ziggler, Roman Reigns, and Big Show and his brother Jimmy Uso as well as the animated film The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, which he played a role as Usobots.

Jey made a brief appearance on the reality television series Total Divas due to his brother, Jimmy being married to Total Divas star Naomi.

Jey is regularly featured on Xavier Woods' YouTube channel UpUpDownDown, where he goes by the nickname 'Jucey'. He challenged Kofi Kingston for the title in a game of Tetris, where he defeated Kingston to win the championship.[167]

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

Personal life

[edit]

Fatu is of Samoan descent. As the son of WWE Hall of Famer Solofa Fatu Jr. (Rikishi), the twin brother of Jon Fatu (Jimmy Uso) and the brother of Sefa Fatu (Solo Sikoa), he is also part of the Anoaʻi family; he is 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) and Lance Anoaʻi, as well as Jacob Fatu who is best known for his tenure in Major League Wrestling (MLW). He is also the nephews of Sam Fatu (The Tonga Kid), the late Eddie Fatu (Umaga), and WWE Hall of Famers, the late Afa and Sika Anoaʻi. He is also related through a blood brotherhood between his 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). His stage name "uso" means "brother" in the Samoan language. From 2011 to 2016, he performed the Samoan Siva Tau before their matches.

Uso is married to his high school sweetheart Takecia Travis since January 8, 2015. The couple met at Escambia High School where they first started dating. The couple has two sons: Jaciyah and Jeyce. The couple also have three French Bulldogs named Pongo, Mumble and Jax.[168]

[edit]

Fatu was arrested in January 2018 for DUI 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.[169]

As a result of these charges, as well as charges on his twin brother Jonathan from numerous other incidents, Joshua and his brother have been generally barred from entering Canada, although they were given special permission to enter the country for WWE's Elimination Chamber event in 2023.[170][171]

After Joshua began his singles run, he adopted a new catchphrase "Yeet" in September 2023. However, the WWE temporarily suspended merchandise sales on December 4, 2023 after it was discovered that the "Yeet" trademark was claimed by West Virginia-born independent wrestler, Kasey Scott Huffman, who trademarked the phrase in 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office but was suspended in October 2022. As a result, Joshua was forced to wear a version of his "Yeet" shirts with the trademarked text blurred out on the print itself,[172] on that week's WWE television programming. It was then resolved a few days later and Uso's "Yeet" merchandise was put back on sale.[173]
