Joshua Samuel Fatu (born August 22, 1985), better known by his ring name Jey Uso, is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand. He is the twin brother of Jonathan Solofa Fatu (Jimmy Uso). The two wrestle together since 2007 as The Usos. Uso has also been successful in singles competition. He is a member of the renowned Samoan-American Anoa'i family, which includes many other wrestlers like his father Rikishi, his younger brother Solo Sikoa, and his cousins Roman Reigns and The Rock. Uso represented the family as part of the stable The Bloodline.
In WWE, Uso is an eleven-time tag team champion, winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championship six times (his fifth reign was longest tag team championship reign in the company at 622 days), and the Raw Tag Team Championship five times. He and Jimmy were also the first men to hold both titles together as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. As a singles wrestler, he won the World Heavyweight Championship and the Intercontinental Championship once, the 2025 men's Royal Rumble Match, and the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 37 in 2021.
