Jonathan Solofa Fatu & Joshua Samuel Fatu (The Usos)

Jonathan and Joshua were born on August 22, 1985, in San Francisco, California, with Jonathan being the older twin by 9 minutes. Jonathan and Joshua are popularly known by their WWE in-ring name, Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso. The Usos were trained by their father, Rikishi, and made their pro wrestling debut in 2008 at the NWA Prime Time event. They debuted in Florida Championship Wrestling in January 2010. Jimmy and Jey made their main roster debut in May 2010 with their cousin, Tamina, as a heel by attacking the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Hart Dynasty, and made a statement that they came here to fetch respect for their family. The Usos then tried to capture the Tag Team Championships on multiple occasions but failed miserably.

In 2013, The Usos had face paint similar to that of their deceased uncle Umaga to highlight their Samoan culture. Jey and Jimmy changed their path to winning matches in 2014 and demanded a shot for the WWE Tag Team Titles. They defeated The New Age Outlaws in a rematch on the March 3 episode of RAW and captured the title. They held the belt for 202 days.

The Usos inducted their father, Rikishi, into the Hall of Fame in 2015. Over the years, The Usos have won the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship thrice and the WWE SmackDown Championship five times. They hold the record for the longest tag team championship reign in WWE history at 622 days. Jey and Jimmy held both the tag titles of RAW and SmackDown simultaneously. The Usos main evented Night One of WrestleMania 39, which marked the first time a Tag Team Championship was defended in the main event of 'Mania. There is no doubt that The Usos are one of The Greatest Tag Team Champions in WWE history.

The brothers have always worked together in WWE, but they parted ways in 2023 when Jey Uso left The Bloodline and moved to RAW. Jimmy Uso betrayed him to still be a member of the group. Following a solo run, Jey reunited with his brother and Roman Reigns in October 2024 to take on the new Bloodline.
