History Wrestling / TheUsos

* FireForgesFriends: While Cody Rhodes was the only member of the ''Raw'' roster willing to give Jey a chance after the latter joined them, he was still understandably wary of him. After winning the tag team championship together however, they both gained a strong friendship to the point where Jey was the only other person besides Seth Rollins who backed Cody after challenging Roman Reigns at ''[=WrestleMania=]''.

* CainAndAbel: After ''Summerslam (2023)'', with Jey becoming the Abel after walking out of [=SmackDown=] while Jimmy reverts to the Cain and crawls back to The Bloodline, later deliberately costing his brother the Tag Team Championship, the United States Championship and Intercontinental Championship on 3 separate occasions out of sheer jealousy.

Jonathan Solofa Fatu and Joshua Samuel Fatu (born August 22, 1985) are a Samoan-American TagTeam known to Wrestling/{{WWE}} viewers as The Usos, Jimmy (Jonathan) and Jey (Joshua). They debuted in 2007 under their real names for the World Xtreme Wrestling promotion, run by their uncle, Afa. They named their team The Samoan Soldiers and also made appearances in Texas based Xtreme Championship Wrestling, Anarchy Wrestling in Georgia and Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA Prime Time, winning tag team gold in Wrestling/BookerT's PWA before they jumped to WWE. They became the Uso Brothers, Jimmy and Jules, in WWE's developmental program FCW, where they were 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fcw/fcw-fl-t.html FCW Florida Tag Team Champions]]. They debuted in WWE in 2010 as heels, feuding with the Hart Dynasty. They [[HeelFaceTurn turned face]] via their feud with [[Wrestling/TheNexus the Corre]] on ''Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}}'' in 2011 and remained faces for around five years, during which they won the WWE Tag Team Championship twice. In 2016, shortly into the renewed brand extension, they [[FaceHeelTurn turned heel]] by assaulting the most popular team on the ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown'' brand, Wrestling/AmericanAlpha. Since then, they've racked up a total of six tag-team championship reigns, one of which being the longest tag team title reign in WWE history.

** Zig-zagged regarding their initial relationship with Tamina, who was called their cousin on-screen despite the fact that that the Anoa'i and Snuka families aren't even from the same ''country''. (Anoa'i are from American Samoa, while Snuka's origins are in Fiji.) There is a connection, though, as Tamina's mother (Snuka's second wife) is a member of the Anoa'i family via a {{blood brother|s}} tie-in similar to The Rock, meaning they do regard each other as cousins in reality.

* CainAndAbel: After ''Summerslam (2023)'', with Jey becoming the Abel after walking out of [=SmackDown=] while Jimmy reverts to the Cain and crawls back to The Bloodline, later deliberately costing his brother the Tag Team Championship.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Jimmy became this after he betrayed Jey, with Jey having fully turned his back on him and though he crawled back to the Bloodline, it's clear that Roman, Paul Heyman nor Solo Sikoa are annoyed and unimpressed with him. Roman in particular doesn't hide his disdain for Jimmy, even if he still uses him as his minion out of pragmatism. He is also clearly distrusted and looked down upon by the other heels, as seen during 2024's Royal Rumble, with him trying to befriend or ally with various heels such as Gunther, Ivar, Karrion Kross or Shinsuke Nakamura only for them to snub or attack him. Only Solo seems to have any appreciation and care left for his older brother, protecting Jimmy several times from Roman's abuse.

* GenerationXerox: Averted. While they did adopt a couple of moves in homage to their father, Rikishi, neither brother is anywhere near as big, and a close examination of their movesets reveals that they actually owe more of their wrestling style to [[Wrestling/JimmySnuka Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka]] and their late uncle Wrestling/{{Umaga}}.

* CainAndAbel: After ''Summerslam (2023)'', with Jey becoming the Abel after walking out of [=SmackDown=] while Jimmy reverts to the Cain and crawls back to The Bloodline.

* CainAndAbel: After ''Summerslam (2023)'', with Jey becoming the Abel after walking out of [=SmackDown=] while Jimmy crawls back to The Bloodline becoming the Cain.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Starting August 1, 2017, The Usos rapped their own theme song using a variety of catchphrases during their current {{heel}} run, this would later be known as the Day One remix of "Done With That".
** After splitting from Jimmy, Jey adopted a new version of "Done With That" called "Main Event-Ish," which had just Jey rapping.

* TheAce: As a unit. Since their breakout around 2015, commentators in WWE often touted them as one of the most talented tag teams either on the roster at the time, or of the last X number of years. In 2019 and onward, they were praised by varying sources as one of the best tag teams ''in WWE history.'' They were also named the Tag Team of the Year at the annual Slammy Awards in 2014 and 2015, [[https://www.cbssports.com/wwe/news/the-man-comes-around-becky-lynch-breaks-out-for-wwe-as-the-2018-wrestler-of-the-year/ CBS' Tag Team of the Year]] in 2018, and Pro Wrestling Illustrated's 2014 and 2022 Tag Team of the Year.

** At ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'' 2023, Jimmy turned on his brother Jey, seemingly turning heel once again in the process. However, it was subverted on the 8/11/2023 episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'', when he refused to swear allegiance to Roman Reigns, revealing that he prevented Jey from winning because he didn't want his brother to be corrupted by the power that came with being the Tribal Chief.

** Also inverted with Jimmy's wife Wrestling/{{Naomi}} of the Funkadactyls, whose marriage was also never referenced for a long time despite the fact that she (and by extension, Jimmy) was a heavy feature on ''Total Divas'' along with [[Wrestling/BellaTwins Brie Bella]], whose RealLife engagement and subsequent marriage to [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] had been featured in storylines at times. WWE TV finally recognized the marriage in April 2014, after the ''Series/TotalDivas'' episode that focused on their wedding— of course, that wedding took place back in January. Naturally, not long after the marriage was acknowledged on screen, Naomi started to manage her husband and brother-in-law and even forged an alliance with cousin-in-law Tamina after turning heel in 2015. Eventually she and Jimmy worked together on the Mixed Match Challenge as a BattleCouple.
