The Usos (born August 22, 1985) were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of identical twin brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso. They are signed to WWE. As of 2024, Jey performs on the Raw brand, while Jimmy is a free agent because of an injury. In WWE they are eight-time Tag team champions (three-time Raw Tag Team Champions and five-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions). Their fifth reign as SmackDown Tag Team Champions is the longest tag team championship reign in the company at 622 days.

Jimmy (real name Jonathan Solofa Fatu) and Jey (real name Joshua Samuel Fatu) are the twin sons of Solofa Fatu, better known as Rikishi, and are part of the Anoa'i family. They were members of the family's stable The Bloodline. Their younger brother Joseph Yokozuna also works in WWE as Solo Sikoa.

Notes

  1. ↑ The title was called "WWE Tag Team Championship" during their first and second reigns. The Usos won the titles (which were now called "WWE Raw Tag Team Championship") a third time as the reigning SmackDown champions in a Winners take all match and from this moment were called "Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions".
