Joshua Samuel Fatu, known by his ring name Jey Uso, is an American professional wrestler. Currently signed with WWE, Jey is a part of the legendary Anoa'i family. Along with his brother Jimmy Uso, Jey formed the Samoan descent tag team, The Usos, and the siblings ruled most of the WWE team completions for the past few years. They won the WWE Tag Team Championship a total of five times while also creating history by being the only team to win the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship and RAW Tag Team Championship. However, the SummerSlam 2023 saw Jimmy betraying his brother Jey Uso and the latter quitting SmackDown and entering Playback 2023 as a solo wrestler.

Jey Uso’s Early Life

Jey Uso was born on August 22, 1985, in San Francisco, California, in the legendary Anoa'i family to Solofa Fatu, better renowned as Rikishi, and Talisua Fuavai-Fatu. With Rikishi being a WWE Hall of Famer and a former tag team champion, he made sure to transfer his love for wrestling to Jey Uso and his twin brother, Jimmy Uso. Notably, Rikishi was a good wrestler of his time as he dominated in various other circuits apart from WWE, including the World Wrestling Council, Universal Wrestling Association, and World Class Wrestling Association.

In his career so far, Jimmy has won two Slammy awards while Sikoa has an NXT title. Jey's connections in the wrestling world run deeper than many are aware of, as he also has The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Yokozuna has his cousins.

Jey Uso’s Career Timeline

Jey started his WWE journey with the Florida Championship Wrestling in 2009. In January 2010, alongside his brother, he clinched victory against 'The Rotundo Brothers,' but faced a tough defeat in a generational showdown the following month. However, their fortunes turned in March when Sarona Snuka joined as their manager, leading them to capture the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship by defeating 'The Fortunate Sons on March 13.

Their reign, unfortunately, was short-lived as they lost the title to Los Aviadores on June 3, 2010. Despite this setback, they made their TV debut on 'RAW' in May 2010, but could not secure the gold that year. Joining hands with Tamina, The Usos made their PPV debut in June 2010. However, the match saw them losing to Hart Dynasty and failing to win the Tag Team Championship.

Jey, along with his brother, was finally introduced to SmackDown in 2011 as a part of the supplement draft, followed by their performance on NXT and WrestleMania XXVII. Those were the tough days for the wrestling brothers, as they failed to win any significant titles. Nonetheless, they continued to showcase their Samoan heritage, introducing the 'Siva Tau' dance and even donning face paint in 2013 as a tribute.

Finally, in 2014, their perseverance paid off when they defeated 'The Outlaws' to clinch their first WWE Tag Team Championship. The duo retained the title for a total of 202 days before losing it to Goldust and Stardust. Their triumph was further celebrated with a Slammy Award for the 'Tag Team of the Year.' Unfortunately, injuries sidelined Jey for a while, but his brother continued to hold down the fort until his return in late 2015.

They captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in 2017, becoming the first team to hold both RAW and SmackDown titles. The Usos lost it to The New Day at the battleground, but they hammered the same opposition in August 2017 to take back their titles and hold the SmackDown Tag Team Championship two times. In the coming years, the two brothers went on to win many titles to write their names in the record books.

Meanwhile, the pivotal moment in Jey's career came in July 2021 when he joined hands with his cousin Roman Reigns to form a stable named The Bloodline. Jimmy also joined the faction, and the three went on to create history by helping each other win many games. Solo Sikoa also joined the group later on.

A twist came during the Night of Champions 2023 when Jey chose his brother Jimmy when the latter fought against Roman. It resulted in a Bloodline Civil War at Money in Bank 2023. It was also a personal milestone for Jey Uso as he became the first wrestler to take down Reigns since 2019. However, the California native faced one of the biggest deceptions during the SummerSlam 2023 as his brother Jimmy turned against him. What followed after that was Jey taking his revenge on every Bloodline member during SmackDown 2023 and then announcing his exit from the faction and WWE.

It was not the end of the story for Jey as he made a comeback to 2023 Payback as a member of Monday Night Raw. He is now likely to take on a solo journey to add more titles to his name.
