Jey Uso

Joshua Samuel Fatu (born August 22, 1985), better known by the ring name Jey Uso, is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the epithet "Main Event" Jey Uso. He is a member of the Anoaʻi family of professional wrestlers.

Trained since childhood by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Jey 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. From July 2021 to June 2023, he was part of the villainous stable The Bloodline.

During his time as part of The Usos, Jey holds 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. 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. The two headlined multiple pay-per-views, including WrestleMania 39 - Night 1.

As a singles professional wrestler, Jey won the 2020 Feud of the Year category for his feud with Roman Reigns by the CBS Sports as well as the 2021 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. 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 the Intercontinental Championship, the first singles title of his career. In February 2025, Uso won the Men's Royal Rumble, earning him a world championship match at WrestleMania 41, where he defeated Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, marking the first world title of his career.

Joshua Samuel Fatu was born in San Francisco, California on August 22, 1985, nine minutes after his twin brother Jonathan, to parents Talisua Fuavai and professional wrestler Solofa Fatu Jr. He is of Samoan descent and is a member of the Anoaʻi family. He attended Escambia High School with his twin brother 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 hoped Josh Fatu, who was previously sat out for academic reasons, would help provide shots on defense. The season did not 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 their father Rikishi and uncle, Umaga in the wrestling industry.

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