Jonathan Solofa Fatu (born August 22, 1985), better known by his ring name Jimmy Uso, is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. He is one half of the tag team The Usos with his twin brother Jey. He is a member of wrestling's renowned Anoaʻi family. His bloodline includes his father Rikishi, his cousin Roman Reigns and his great uncles the Wild Samoans.
Trained since childhood by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Fatu debuted in 2008, before joining WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2010, and wrestled as Jimmy Uso alongside his twin brother, Jey as The Uso Brothers where they became FCW Florida Tag Team Champions. He and Jey were moved to the main roster later that year. While on the main roster, he and Jey have been managed by their cousin Tamina Snuka and Jimmy's wife, Naomi.[3]
During his time as part of The Usos, alongside Jey, 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.[4] 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.
