Jey Uso

Joshua Samuel Fatu (born August 22, 1985) is an American professional wrestler.

He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Jey Uso. He is a member of the renowned Anoaʻi family of Samoan professional wrestlers.

Joshua Samuel Fatu was born in San Francisco, California on August 22, 1985.

Fatu is of Samoan descent.

As the son of WWE Hall of Famer Solofa Fatu Jr.. (Rikishi), he is also part of the Anoaʻi family.

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.

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.

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.

Joshua made his professional wrestling debut for World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) alongside his brother Jonathan Fatu, as a tag team called The Fatu Twins in Milton, Florida on June 8, 2007.

He debuted as Joshua Fatu.

On December 12, 2008 Joshua made his appearance for National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) at NWA Prime Time event in Columbus, Georgia as Josh Fatu.

He was a member of a tag team called The Samoan Soldiers with his brother Jonathan.

Trained since childhood by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Fatu debuted in WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2009, 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 the following year.

While on the main roster, they have been managed by their cousin Tamina Snuka, and Jimmy's wife, Naomi.

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.

In 2009, he and his brother wrestled twice as a tag team for Xtreme Championship Wrestling (XCW) in Decature and North Richland Hills, Texas.

Joshua made his debut as "Jules Uso", joining a tag team with his brother, called the Uso Brothers starting in 2010 by defeating The Rotundo Brothers (Duke and Bo) on January 14.

In a clash of the generational wrestlers on February 18, The Rotundo Brothers teamed up with Wes Brisco to defeat The Usos and Donny Marlow.

They continued their association with Marlow at the television tapings on February 25, when he accompanied them to ringside for a victory against Titus O'Neil and Big E Langston.

In March, they were joined by Sarona Snuka, who began acting as their manager and on March 13, The Usos defeated The Fortunate Sons (Joe Hennig and Dibiase">Brett Dibiase) to win the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.

They made their first title defense at the March 18 television tapings by defeating The Dudebusters (Trent Baretta and Caylen Croft) to retain.

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.

On June 3, The Usos lost the Florida Tag Team Championship to "Los Aviadores" (Hunico and Dos Equis).

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).

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.

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.

In 2023, Fatu was involved in the "Bloodline Civil War" arc which later refers to his loss to Roman Reigns in the main event of SummerSlam in Tribal Combat for Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and recognition of Tribal Chief of the Anoaʻi family after Jimmy appeared and turned on him.

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.
